What is important to me is that I have the great good fortune to spend my days doing something I love, and being given the opportunity to make a difference in the world.

Dr. Hawass Excavating a Statue at Giza

Zahi Hawass excavates a double statue of a husband and wife at the tombs of the Pyramid Builders in Giza. The cemetery was discovered in 1990, when an American tourist was riding a horse that tripped over an ancient wall.  This site, which tells the story of the workmen who constructed the pyramids, has been excavated since 1990 by the team of Dr. Hawass.  Read the full story here.
