Egypt
Ludwig is the new Lord Carnarvon
http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2006/785/hr2.htm
Zahi Hawass's occasional Dig Days column on the Al Ahram Weekly website: "Bruce Ludwig is a businessman who lives in Los Angeles. He is a great lover of Egypt, one of the truest of this breed, and is on the Board of Trustees of the American University in Cairo. Bruce is tall, with a white beard that makes him look like a movie star. I met him when I was a student at the University of Pennsylvania. He used to visit me a lot, and he would send me any news about archaeology in Egypt. He is a very smart man, and knows a lot about raising funds for the support of archaeology in Egypt. He has supported and continues to support the work of two American Egyptologists. The first is Kent Weeks, who re-discovered KV 5, the tomb of the sons of Ramses II in the Valley of the Kings."
