150mi. upstream from Cairo. The Codex Tchacos, including the recently famous Gospel of Judas, was found by a "treasure-hunter" near El-Minya in the 1970s.
I keep a 1977 London Times Atlas open on my bedroom dresser. Every morning, as part of my getting-ready ritual, I flip the page to see the next map-plate, and play a little game, scanning the map to find a city or other feature that starts with a letter of the alphabet. I jot it down in my little notebook. The next day, I turn the page and set about finding something that starts with the next letter. So on through the atlas, across the globe, and down the alphabet from A to Z and all over again.
