The Obvious and Not So
Obvious
By Jimmy Dunn
The obvious is that we have greatly expanded the
Tour Egypt Monthly with many new feature articles for March. There
are over twice the number of articles we have ever published in
one month. What may not be so obvious is that we expect this to be
a permanent development. More people then ever before are
contributing to Tour Egypt Monthly, and more are on the way, with
some fantastic articles coming up in the near future.
Interestingly enough, when we started the Tour
Egypt Monthly, it was mostly travel articles, along with a few
historical scattered in the mix. However, this is a little deceiving,
even for March as some of the articles which appear to be
historical are likewise very valuable for the tourist. In
the future, we will try our best to keep a good balance between
feature travel and historical articles.
One very new development is that we are accepting
some "alternative thought" material. Basically, we would
define this as information which is not particularly accepted in
the mainline Egyptology community. We are not likely to ever
accept outlandish theories, but the two articles we accepted this
month do a good job of at least substantiating their position
logically. Since we are interested in teachers and others who need
to recognize what is mainstream and what is not, these articles
are marked (Alternative Thought).
Want to contribute yourself? Contributions
are what makes Tour Egypt Monthly the great magazine that it
is. The magazine and Tour Egypt itself continue to be
enthusiast web sites, which is just the way we want it, and if you
have a story about either travel or of a historical nature, we
would love to see it. We will provide credit links to your
favorite web site within the articles if you wish, and with 1.5
million readers, it will make a difference in traffic.
Help support us. You will enjoy the
experience and our community of writers.
