Book Reviews

"Thus I rediscovered what writers have always known

(and have told us again and again):

books always speak of other books,

and every story tells a story that has already been told."

Umberto Eco

(Postscript to the Name of the Rose)

And that's what we propose to do from here, "speak of other books":

Archaeology is a dirty business...

But can it be controlled?

In Egypt: Supreme Council of Antiquities

In Sudan: National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums

In Ethiopia: Authority for Research and Conservation of Cultural Heritage

And can it be fun???

Well, one way is to have fun! How? But by studying games! Jocari.be dear friends and colleagues!

And another is to make fun...

Difficult with archaeologists ;-)

However, here is what we found:
