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.

I wasn't aware that the Society For Creative Anachronism was fielding archeological teams.

Last November, a 4,300-year-old pyramid in Saqqara -- the 118th in Egypt, and the 12th to be found at this site -- was uncovered, and in December, two new tombs were discovered near the current mummies' discovery.

As much as Saqqara has been studied, excavated, raided, tomb robbed, picked over, curried, combed, and groomed, it is simply amazing that they are still making important large finds there.
