Dont you just love the way, Mrs. Doubtfire isnt given one word of credit for all this work, and only Stans name appears on it. I think its called "intellectual theft". Hahaha.

And you asked me publicly to make it sticky, so everyone knows where it comes from!

Lets hope people find it useful anyway. I wonder how many people knew that Luxor was DIOSPOLIS MAGNA!

As i reacted before in an other topic.... many tnx for all the time you spend to give us simple 'amateurs' all this information, which i find very help full and use full for understanding history of Egypt.

I am just reading a book at the moment where the author uses the ancient names of towns in one place and then the modern names in others and seems to leave the Greek names out altogether. I have already had to check the tables to find out exactly where he was talking about !! I hope it proves as useful as I think it will.
