Sir William Flinders Petrie is considered as the founder of the modern archaeology and especially, Egyptology. The "Excavating Egypt" exhibit of his discoveries is on display in Santa Fe until Jan. 6, 2008. Then it heads to South Carolina, Florida, California and Kentucky, through mid-June of 2009.

Yes, Invictus, and he was also the mentor/teacher of Howard Carter.

True. I still admire his meticulous work on Egyptian antiquities. Abzu Library on Etana, has about 19 of his books as free downloadable PDF's. I recommend anyone who is interested in Egyptology.
