Personal Quote:

"There is an ancient Egyptian saying that 'Man fears time, and time fears the Pyramids,' but this is no longer true. The Pyramids must fear time, too." (New York Times, August 10, 1997) See more »

Trivia:

Has an almost non-existent tolerance for those who propose that many of monuments and holy sites of ancient Egypt were built with the assistance of, or at the request of, ancient aliens posing as gods, and has been known to become visibly angry or upset at the mere mention of the topic. See more »
