Which of those tels covers the Well of Souls? ('Tel', for those who don't know, is the local term for hill or mound.)

Taking all of those sites apart, properly, will take years.

Wouldn’t it be great to find some of the lost books? The lost works of Socrates, Plato? Plays? Histories? Bio of Alexander penned by his friend now lost—lost works of the Bible? Its possible.

The dig at nearby Mendes has been going on for at least a couple of decades; it’s an older settlement, going back at least into the Old Kingdom period. One of the finds five or ten years ago was a destruction layer filled with human remains showing signs of violent death (marks on the bones from penetrating weapons, that kind of thing), and signs that it had been a gold processing or gold working center.
