Cone arrangers play in the sand
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Three Greeks are creating what they say will be the largest current land art project in the world - a set of perfect cones made of sand and arranged in spirals over 25 acres of Egyptian desert.
Bulldozers started work at the site on the Red Sea coast in September and the work of art, called Desert Breath, will be ready for inauguration in ceremonies between 29 November and 1 December, one of the organisers said.
Once the work is complete, they will document its decay over six months as the wind wears the cones away, said Wail Khalid, a marketing executive with the sponsoring company Orascom. Cairo - Reuter
