...should try at home unless bending backward and touching your butt with your head is as easy as rolling over in bed. The evening's most incredible image: Natasha Patterson, a 13-year-old from Marin County, rests her chest on the stage, her elbows under her chin, as her legs - it's painful for me even to type this - Walk in a Circle Around Her. The audience gasps in a mixture of wonder and horror; it's not that the body can't do this, it's that the body maybe oughtn't. Whatever the crowd reaction, the maneuver...

Nearly two dozen coins unearthed there bear Cleopatra's profile and inscription, and carvings in the temple enclosure show two lovers in an embrace. A ceramic fragment supposedly mirrors the cleft chin of the rebel general Mark Antony - leading Hawass to speculate that it is the Roman's own death mask.

Some of the women, who are all dressed in pantsuits with long jackets and colorful headscarves tied under the chin, carry placards in Persian. A bright yellow banner shimmers in the mid-morning sun. "Ashraf is the city of peace," it says in Arabic...
