Oh you guys! 42 comments on my opening paragraph - I'm utterly overwhelmed!
For those wondering: yes, I really did write that down in five minutes, though I was much longer in planning. That's still ongoing, and there's an outline sorely in need of writing as I get my head around the details.
Professor Flinders-Petrie is (or was) a real person. An English Egyptologist, he was responsible for discovering sites such as Naukratis, Tanis and Abydos (the Egyptian city not the planet, heh). More on Flinders-Petrie for the curious.
I know very little about archaeology, so this is going to be an interesting learning curve. Especially as what I do know comes from Stargate SG1. It has something to do with magnets...
Joking! I know more than that, I swear.
Have you ever been to Egypt? I went nearly 20 years ago as a college student and it was a life-changing experience. It was a completely different world and like nowhere I'd visited before.
ReplyDeleteI haven't, no. It's on my list of places to go, though clearly not right now...
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. Can't wait until next Sunday to read more ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's the kind of paragraph that really hooks a reader; nicely done.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on reaching your February W1S1 goals!
