LOL Zahi Hawass, to whom my Kristjan refers to as *the man in the light blue shirt* ... because there's something about Egypt that makes men want to wear shirts in a particular shade of blue ;))))
Or, as I like to call him *the King of the Valley of Kings*. The guy must have certainly done something very right in his past life ... to live in archaeologists' heaven in this one, and be God!
(Egyptology is my not -so-secret passion as well. Funny, I was searching for the Osiris shaft for some time ago)

I forgot the hat!
The thing is, that every time there's something on Egypt, here he is! The man in the blue shirt! He IS the boss.

It is amazing what is still being found.

This is not by any chance the shaft where he claimed was the tomb of Osiris due to finding a sarcophagus on a sort of island surrounded by water was it?

Blue shirts: I believe that there may be a prevalence of them, from my experience there, due to it being the only colour that doesn't show up very well the different colours of light and dark dust and the white crystallized salty perspiration :) Every time I've been there I tried different coloured clothes for these reasons and found lightish blue and green khaki to be about the only colours one could wear for more than a day without the need to wash them.

yeah thats the one, personally think it's another false chamber, that bugger knew how to hide his secret's, i'll find im through, personally do't think he was ever there, more prob' a cenotaph like the tombs at abydos...catch ya later rob got to pick up the babby...

I believe I have a very good guess of the location of the tomb of Osiris and Isis, it may very well be on an Island surrounded by water and that surrounded by reeds, but, if I'm correct it is not actually in Egypt although the life of Egypt depended upon the location. I don't want to talk about this in public though until I've been there and I don't know when that will be.
