The most famous Egyptologist of all time is arguably Howard Carter, the man responsible for uncovering the tomb of King Tut.
This was decades before the advent of television. The job of the Egyptologist has changed with time, technology and new revelations, but from Howard Carter all the way down to Dr. Kara Cooney, our guest for tomorrow's 3rd Thursday event, these people all carrying the same tool. Better than a brush or a computer or anything build or created, the passion that drives them to do this job, that is what binds them in history. And that is why we are so fascinated by them. These people live deliberately. And thank goodness for that.
