      I am watching her documentary now I just have fallen in love with her she is amazing. Hopefully she'll be able to go back to Egypt and everything will be fine.

    Why do Brits want to perpetuate the falsehood that Fletcher discovered something? Stick with Howard Carter, your countryman. He discovered something.
