The Pyramids Of Furmat

JKR responded to a few “Rumors” in
http://www.jkRowling.com/

When asked, "Will Book Seven be called Harry Potter and the Pyramids of Furmat?"
She did not directly respond, but said that:

“The Pyramids of Furmat lie a few miles east of the fameous Forrest
of Shadows, not far from the magnificent Pillars of Storge.
Many Tourists prefer to view these ancient monuments at night
when they are illuminated by the Green Flame Torch.”

Have we heard of this before?
Is this where Voldemort hid all those years?

I dont ever remember hearing about it. Harry might of heared it in The History of magic class.... I always sort of dosed off at those parts.

That's it?
No one has heard of it?

Jo's answer makes it sound as though someone's been talking about it.

What are you getting at? Didn't Voldemort already say in GOF that he had hidden in some woods?

I'm not getting at anything in particular.
I just want to know where the 7th book is taking us.

If that is the title, what does it mean?

I think it did say the country where Voldemort was hiding.
Bertha Jorkins met Wormtail in the area.

Did Quirrel mention where he had been?
Where he found Voldemort?

Just trying to guess at what's so special about the Pyramids of Furmat.

Maybe it's something in Egypt -- Charlie Weasley's territory.

[size=5]Don't want to come off as a smartar*e or anything, but I think that JK was being a wee bit sarcastic when talking about The Pyramids of Furmat thing. The Pillar of Storge, for instance, which was mentioned in JK's post overhead, was alledgedly an early title for CoS - something JK has denied - and I think that the Green Flame Torch was a title suggested for HBP by some overzealous fan, years before the book had been written. JK's response regarding the Pyramids of Furmat was nothing short of good old English sarcasm and I think it's a bit naive to take it as anything but a joke.

I don't get it.
I guess you need to be English.

i dont get it either
probably right about the english thing...

I think it was Albania that Voldemort was in - in book 2 Dumbledore says that, and then didn't Bertha Jorkins go to Albania to visit a sister which she did but then was going to go visit a friend and got "lost" (tortured and murdered by Wormtail and Voldemort) en route to there.

I don't know what's so hard to understand about Rowling's explanation being a joke. slopeydope explains it pretty well. Besides, even though I didn't know all of that stuff about rumored titles for other books, it seemed like it was a bit of a joke to me.
