Hula Valley The Hula Valley (Hebrew: עמק החולה‎ ‎ , translit. "Emek Ha-Ḥula"; also transliterated as Huleh Valley) is an agricultural region in northern Israel with abundant fresh water. It is a major stopover for birds migrating along the Syrian-African Rift Valley between Africa, Europe, and Asia. The marshland around Lake Hula, a breeding ground for mosquitoes carrying malaria, was drained in the 1950s. A small section of the valley was later reflooded in an attempt to revive a nearly extinct ecosystem. An estimated 500 million migrating birds now pass through the Hula Valley every year.

Pyramid of Userkaf The pyramid complex of Userkaf was built c. 2490 BC for the pharaoh Userkaf (reign 2494–2487 BC), founder of the 5th dynasty of Egypt (c. 2494–2345 BC). It is located in the pyramid field at Saqqara, on the north-east of the step pyramid of Djoser (reigned ca. 2670 BC). Constructed in dressed stone with a core of rubble, the pyramid is now ruined and resembles a conical hill in the sands of Saqqara. For this reason, it is known locally as "El-Haram el-Maharbish", the "Heap of Stone" and was recognized as a royal pyramid by western archaeologists in the 19th century.

Neferhotep (scribe of the great enclosure) Neferhotep was an Ancient Egyptian official with the title "scribe of the great enclosure". He lived during the 13th Dynasty, around 1750 BC. His tomb was found in 1860 by Auguste Mariette in Dra Abu el-Naga and contained an important range of objects, most notably of which was the Papyrus Boulaq 18 which is an account of life in the Theban palace. The papyrus had already been published, but the finds in Neferhotep's tomb have only recently been fully published. The tomb contained the rishi coffin of Neferhotep, which was most likely badly decayed when Mariette found it. So it is only known from Mariette's description. Other finds in the tomb are a walking stick, a head rest, a faïence hippopotamus, wooden pieces of the Hounds and Jackals game, a mace, writing implements, a wooden tray for a mirror, two calcite vessels, a magical wand and a double scarab.

Tombos Stela The Tombos Stela is an ancient Egyptian rock inscription found in the area of Tombos (Nubia), dated to Year 2 of pharaoh Thutmose I. It attests his military campaign into Nubia around the area of the 3rd cataract of the Nile. It was discovered around the year of 1829, on a large boulder in Tombos, Nubia on the east bank of the Nile. Throughout Thutmose’s reign he is known to have expanded Egypt’s borders, not only in Nubia, but also through campaigning in both Syria-Palestine area. Previously kings during the Middle Kingdom, such as pharaoh Mentuhotep II had expanded into Nubia. However, scholars argue the Tombos stela is evidence of farther expansion into Nubia than previous kings.
