I freakin' loved this guy. Growing up, The Mummy and The Mummy Returns were one of my favorite movies. I still think they're pretty classic. So the fact that we were going to be talking about the history of Egypt (and more) excited me.
The anthropologist was so smart. He really impressed me. Even though he was the most monotoned person I've ever listened to, he threw it down big time and showed us pictures of hieroglyphics, mummies, all the sites he's worked at, the tools he uses, he taught us a little Arabic... mentioned that he lived with the locals in Egypt. No big deal! Then at the end he told us how he worked with the production of The Mummy movies! He actually gave information to the makers of the movie such as the dialect and weapons used. He showed us what was real in the movies and what wasn't really that historically correct. I found his talk very interesting :-)
