The most impressive sight we saw in Cairo were the royal mummies, which are exhibited in their gorgeously painted coffins, under glass, in the museum. Whatever may be said in the way of discrediting the histories narrated in the Old Testament, it must hence forth be impossible for the most hardened sceptic to deny that the Pharaohs, at least.

Wat een ongelooflijk spannend en bijzonder leven hadden die vrouwen, en wat wisten en konden ze veel.

A short and mostly interesting account of twin sisters' trips to St Catherine's Monastery in Sinai in the 1890s from England, along with historical background. Their part in bringing forgotten texts to light and into English translation is pretty amazing, and is covered in the recent book "The Sisters of Sinai", now in paperback and ebook.

Near past
In the near past of the 19th century twin sisters travel to the east to search for lost gospels in ancient monasteries . They succeed both in their modern outlook and imperviousness to complaining about the hardships of their trip. An intellectual journey in womanly courage.
