replies: text: One of the latest books on Almasy states he was indeed gay or bisexual.  I'm not sure how to work either of these references into the article:  and .  If someone with more knowledge about Almasy could do that, I'd appreciate it! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 21:58, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Could someone with the books pse check out Berrow School and his time in Eastbourne?  I have a list of private schools of that period but nothing of that name comes up.  Comments greatly appreciated.  Mikeo1938 18:38, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The article herein states that Almásy's family was untitled aristocracy. I am a bit confused about this, as my understanding has always been that they have been counts since at least the 1700's, as, in some genealogical work I am doing, I have come across a Countess Maria Beatrix zu Hardegg, auf Glatz u im Machlande marrying an Imre Ignac Zsádányi es törökszentmiklósi Grof Almásy (1751-1840). "Grof" in Hungarian means "Count", so I am assuming that the family was already titled at this time. If my information is incorrect, it would assist my studies greatly if someone could correct me and direct me to the proper resources on this subect. Thank you.Alejandro10009 (talk) 23:06, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A European family can be noble without being titled. The family of Laszlo Almasy did not have a title before his services to Karl von Habsburg. There was also an Almasy family that were not close relatives of Laszlo Almasy who were titled before that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.240.206.200 (talk) 00:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The existence of the Uweinat cave paintings was known to local shepherds who avoided the allegedly haunted caves except when looking for lost sheep and was the subject of an article in the National Geographic before Almasy ever arrived in Egypt. He distinguished himself by thoroughly exploring the caves and drawing copies of the figures on sketch pads for publication.RichardBond (talk) 17:30, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

message: The Abu Ramla Sahara Expedition  was established in 2000 with the aim of re-discovering the Eastern Sahara region that the legendary Hungarian explorer László Almásy visited, described and discovered during his travels in Egypt, Sudan and Libya. The name of such expedition was inspired by László Almásy himself, who was called by local Saharan tribes: “Abu Ramla” or “Father of the Sand”. The Abu Ramla Sahara Expedition visited the Nubian territory and the three ancient capitals of the Kushite kingdom: Kerma, Napata and Meroe. These archaeological sites are registered in UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites.
During their campaigns in 2003, 2004 and 2006, they captured various photographic material and filmed those areas where the remains of Kushite royal tombs can still be observed."
I would also like to add a note regarding the plaque in Hungarian at Almasy's birth place. This is the only plaque in Hungarian in such place and he was born Hungarian. To be read as (+ photo of the plaque):  
    "On the occasion of the 120th anniversary of the birth of László Almásy (August 2015), the Abu Ramla Sahara Expedition placed a commemorative plaque in Hungarian on main entrance gate of the castle of Bernstein (Borostyánkő), where Almásy was born in 1895".
Looking forward to hearing from you!
