An interesting gentleman

Here's a really interesting gentleman. ZahiHawass on twitter, current Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities.

Whatever goes on with any dig in Egypt from The Old Kingdom to Alexander the Great's tomb, Mr. Hawass is usually in on it.

You can't deny his passion. I have always loved Ancient Egypt. I once owned a replica of the Temple of Dendur made of cardboard from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. The temple was brought here and placed at the Met brick by brick. By the way, Hawass wants every brick returned to Egypt along with many other Egyptian antiquities scattered around the globe.
