On the History Channel they had the Egyptian Minister of Antiquities. He said
that only about 40% of Egypt's antiquities have been found to date. They found
burial vaults in western Egypt holding literally tens of thousands of mummies.

I'm fascinated with ancient history. It would be interesting to visit Egypt and
other sites in the middle east.

It would be a twofold benefit for you by visiting a place of your youth and
touring ancient historical sites.
