DATES

FOR THE

DIARY

With LATAM Airlines Brazil launching new weekly

lights to the Falklands from São Paulo, the islands

are set to be easier than ever to visit. The new

Falklands-Brazil route will be launched from early

November, with one light a month stopping in

Cordoba, Argentina. As the second South

America air link to the island (there is already

a weekly light from Chile), the once cut-o

community is now even easer to reach, giving

visitors the chance to see orca-illed seas,

elephant seal colonies and squawking penguins.

While we wait for Cairo’s Grand Egyptian Museum to fully ™ling open

its doors in 2020, there are other ‘new’ ancient wonders to explore,

as Dahshur’s ‘Bent Pyramid’ ™inally opens to the public. Originally

built in the reign of Pharaoh Sneferu, the 4,600-year-old pyramid

was ™irst excavated in 1956 but closed for restoration shortly after.

Now, visitors are able to descend its narrow tunnels to reach two

hidden chambers where a collection of sarcophagi (and even a few

mummies) were excavated, as well as visit a never-previously-

accessed side pyramid. This structure is especially rare in that it

has retained much of its polished

limestone coating, but the

101m-high point tapers ož

at the top, hence its

‘bent’ nickname.

BEND ME, SHAPE ME...
