Merenre.com

I picked the name merenre as it is Egyptian, and I love pretty much anything about Egypt.
I've been attempting to find where the name Merryn came from and as I was searching I came across Merenre.
It has nothing to do with Merryn! So far I have found out that Merryn is ancient Celtic.

If you would like to know more about Merenre have a look at this website. But in a nutshell. Merenre I was the oldest surviving son of Pepi I. His pyramid, in Saqqara South, appears not to have been completed. The mummy found inside the pyramid would be the oldest known royal mummy, if it actually is Merenre.

Discovery Bay Field Trip with Dr Michael Godfrey
Firstly we visited a site where flint was sourced by aboriginal people and we got to try our hand at knapping. It's so much harder than it looks.
We left South Australia and headed back into Victoria and checked out where their food supplies. We managed to eat some plants and even seaweed and sea lettuce. Not my cuppa tea, although by that stage I was quite ready for one!
We saw plenty of middens and on the Sunday we got to see some of the oldest sites in Victoria - 10,000 years old to be exact. As Rhys said - I never knew someone could talk for 2 days about shells!
It was a brilliant weekend, with lots of great people and terrific weather.

Well it will be June soon......
Gosh I've had an interesting couple of months. Work wise anyway. Actually hiking in Tasmania was brilliant too. But firstly work. I'm currently at the Uniting Church with a great bunch of people, 2 different jobs, and more thinking than I've done in a long long time!!
