What I wanted to know
what why there was an Italian fresco on the wall inside Petra.

(it might be there really but still)

I was more offended
That they ran from the pyramids and through Karnak (400 miles south of them) and then the Ramasseum (on the other side of the Nile from Karnak) then drove to Petra which is hundreds of miles east over the Suez Canal.

Funny that this bothers me but giant space robots is fine...

Well I don't
know the geography of that region but I guessed it was a load of old arse.

I've never been to Egypt but I don't imagine that there are ancient ruins and camel trains every 100 yards.

Jesus. This means I can never watch this film.
I wasn't going to, but this would tip me over the edge.
