Summary
We start off by revisiting the Artemis II mission and some ideas of future space expansion. We then move to the main topic: a recap of some of the new places we visited in Egypt, such as KV5(a "tomb" complex in the Valley of Kings) and Tell Al-Roba, a massive 200 acre site in Egypt that holds the buried remnants of a temple complex and features an absolutely enormous single-piece granite shrine.
We also talk about some new obvservations regarding the floor of the "Queen's Chamber" in the Great Pyramid, as well as some interesting aspects of the Grand Gallery.
We then move on to our travels in the Faiyum and out into the desert, looking for traces of paleo and neo lithic people.
