Here's a list of Bible History, Ancient Egyptian history, Africa and Middle East related 'maps' from the last 60 years and more of National Geographic. I've been collecting them for over 10 years now.

- Exploring Rajasthan in India
Rajasthan is one of the most visited areas of India and it well deserves its reputation. The Golden Triangle circuit tour indcludes Delhi, Agra [Taj Mahal] and jaipur, but that barely touches Rajasthan. You need several weeks to visit Mt. Abu, Jaisalmer, Pushkar, Jodhpur, Udaipur and Ranakpur, and you'll still only have started. These are excerpts from my journal for our 2009 trip to India. We had been to Rajsathan several times before, so for this trip we made a base near Kumbhalgarh Fort - 2 months ago
