The ancient Pharaonic tombs that have survived until today its vivid colors, close the doors to tourists to prevent damage by continued visits, so that in future only be able to contemplate their replicas.

These tombs were completely destroyed within 200 years due to the breath of tourists who visit, he said in an interview the general secretary of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawas.

Hawas thus explaining the reason for the decision to close some royal tombs in the historical city of Luxor, some 700 kilometers south of Cairo.

The only way to protect these antiquities is close and make replicas of them those tourists can visit, said Hawas, whose department controls the country’s antiquities.

The famous tomb of Tutankhamun (1361-1352 BC), discovered in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, known for being the only one found intact, it will be one that will soon close its doors visitors.

Not escape the new project the beautiful tombs of Seti I, father of Ramses II, who reigned between 1314 and 1304 BC in the Valley of the Kings and Queen Nefertari, wife of Ramses II in the Valley of the Queens. In fact, both are closed.

Using lasers, several experts have begun to take pictures of the refined details, drawings and writings which adorn the walls of the three tombs to repeat them in replicas, constructed in the same Valley of the Kings, on the western shore Nile

Only specialists in archeology will visit the original graves, after paying “expensive tickets,” said Hawas.

Some experts in Egyptology as the Shamaa Basaam, who also works as a tour guide for 25 years, not like the idea of making replicas of antiques, but they do care about the maintenance of temples.

North Beach Lombok
The next day I left Ubud Senggigi towards the neighboring island of Lombok. Instead of public transport, this time I opted for the tourist services offered by the company Seram.
Seram’s office is located south of Monkey Forest Road and the ticket to Sengiggi including 4-hour ferry left me for 150.000 rupiah.
It was really much more comfortable to carry the ticket in hand as this way you avoid having to find different means of transport every time you finish a stage: from Ubud to Padangbai of Padangbai to Lumbar Lembar and finally to Singing. In addition to this so I made new friends with other travelers.

Sunset Beach Sengiggi
Sengiggi beach is dark sand and the water is hot. Coconut trees looming on the beach as the boats of the fishermen. The beach is frequented by locals as the children of the city of Mataram. We saw tourists in our area, only in the center of town where restaurants abound with local and western food and live music.

Once in the car we drove north of Lombok. The aim of the day was to reach the waterfall and return Semaru slowly stopping at other waterfalls on the road and visiting the beaches north of Sira Bangsal village where boats depart towards the Gili islands.
The road north of Sengiggi follows the coast with constant ups and downs. In more than a bend have phenomenal views of the Gili islands as well as some Sengiggi Creek.
The beaches I saw in Lombok, from Sengiggi to Semaru-are nice but not spectacular. The palm trees that stretch to the beach is dark probably due to the effects of the volcano Gunung Baru. The water is clean but does not reach the turquoise can be seen in the south of Bali or in the Gili islands. However, they are precious and make Sengiggi a good place to rest for a couple of nights.
We arrived at Senaru waterfalls where there is a parking, a small souvenir shop and a few guides willing to take you into the jungle to teach other falls further inland. Cover charge goes to 5.000 rupees. Once you have a ticket waiting for you a short 10 minute walk down a escalaeras up to the foot of a cascade double jump of 40 feet. It is beautiful but if you go during the dry season is probably not worthwhile.

Ever had here three villages but since the nineteenth century the population has been declining, was abandoned and eventually re lived the last family to live here left the island in 1974.
