It's kind of funny how graves are like time capsules for archaeologists.

Cool.

You know, when I was a child I wanted to be an archaeologist (a cool one like Indiana Jones) but I didn't study archeology because I knew that I wouldn't get a job. News like that are torture for me. *cries*

I get u... But here's the deal for those in Egypt, the job is still 5% luck 90% standing in the sun with a brush and a rock 5% waiting for someone to fund you. These people worked hard and were blessed by this one chance o.O The profession itself is torture when you don't find something that really knocks off the bar. So we can be happy that this contribution to history is taking place.

Still sounds like my ideal job. I would search Agypt with a toothbrush only so I can say one day "Look mom! I've found super old dead people."
