		<description>Hi. I came over here from your old site, &lt;a href=&quot;http://hotcupofjoe.blogspot.com/2006/08/egyptian-chariot-part-1.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;A Cup of Hot Joe&lt;/a&gt; where I left you a comment. Unfortunately for me, however, the question I left for you on that post was 2 years old! ;)

Please visit your old site so that I may find out where to look for a scientific blog or site that will just look at the facts (without having an ax to grind either for or against religion) as to whether or not there are artifacts at the bottom of the Red Sea. If there are artifacts, where are they located? Egypt is no longer allowing us to search or to take anything out of the country.

Thank you so much for your time. Have a very nice day.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m curious what affect that will have on academia, which depends on reproductions of artifacts for study, teaching, and research -the more accurate, the better.</description>

		<description>From Wikipedia - snipped but with emphasis added:&lt;blockquote&gt;The Berne Convention states that all works except photographic and cinematographic shall be copyrighted for at least 50 years after the author&#039;s death, &lt;strong&gt;but parties are free to provide longer terms&lt;/strong&gt;...,

Although the Berne Convention states that the copyright law of the country where copyright is claimed shall be applied, article 7.8 states that &quot;unless the legislation of that country otherwise provides, the term shall not exceed the term fixed in the country of origin of the work&quot;,&lt;/blockquote&gt;In the USA I think it&#039;s nominally 95 years for the oldest works, but this keeps getting extended every time the mouse is threatened, so it could be arguable that copyright is becoming perpetual.

I&#039;m planning to write more on this because in some ways the Egyptian government is merely being honest about what some other bodies do. There&#039;s a few ways to use copyright to stifle public use of artefacts and images.</description>
