Can you imagine the knowledge this man possess ? Big things, of course, but all of the minutia, little tidbits and stories that he has accumulated throughout the decades of his dedication to his field. I truly hope that some enterprising PhD candidate is preserving his memories for all time in the form of a volume of books that explore all of Dr. Hawass's adventures, big and small. It would be a gift for scholars to come.

And while I'm at it . . . Judi, thank you for all of your wonderful posts, especially those that touch on the sciences, and discoveries in various fields. You are a gift that keeps on giving !
