The event had well over 1000 people, too many to spot any archaeologists. It started on time at 3 o'clock (Egyptian Time - they waited until the end of prayers and actually started around 4:15. By the time for the next prayers at sunset they were less than half way through the program.

Afterwards, we broke into Tayaeb's bottle of Johnny Walker Black Label, with two chiefs from the village council, and made a bit of a dent in it.
