Hawass Dig Days - Scholars who love Egypt

Zahi Hawass on the subject of foreign academic interest in the ancient Egyptian heritge:
Scholars from all over America gather to discuss the history and archaeology of Egypt. There are many universities in the United States whose programmes are considered among the best in the world for the study of Egyptology. When I took a Fulbright Scholarship to study in the States, I chose the University of Pennsylvania. One day, I was sitting in the laboratory when I met a lady who was working for a busy colleague of mine. The lady looked at me and said, "where are you from?" I replied, "from Egypt." The lady laughed, and said, "you are here in America to study Egyptology?"
Many people do not know that Egyptology was essentially invented by great scholars from France, Germany and America.
