An old mine will have a mine shaft, of course. Abandoned mine shafts in the desert are a problem. Every once in a while a person will fall down them, sometimes when they are driving an all terrain vehicle over a mine cover that gives way. Sometimes, the mines were left uncovered or the covers have deteriorated.
There have been a few children who have fallen into old mines. There is an effort to install strong, durable covers over mine shafts.
This mine has a horizontal shaft, so at least people cannot fall down it like a vertical shaft. If you came across this old mine shaft, would you climb in? Stuart did, as I will show you tomorrow.
This week we are showing photos of some of the remarkable sights to Egypt on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

i'd keep going until i lost the light. this is a great image.
The entrance would make me very curious but I don't think I'd go in. But, now that I think about it, I would have gone in when I was Stuart's age. Can't wait to see what he found.
I think this would draw one in like a magnet and it would be obligatory to enter, because it is there.
I'd be afraid I'd run into a wild animal...No thanks.
Very adventurous for the brave soul!
That'd be fun! Looking forward to seeing the photos. :)
It would be very enticing I think Julie, but somehow my fear of small places would give me the strength to resist!!
