Prof Bob Brier Seminar on Ancient Egypt
On Saturday I attended Prof. Bob Brier’s talk at the Smithsonian Ripley Center ( A Smithsonian Resident Associates talk): Temples, Monuments, and Tombs: Exploring Egypt’s Ancient Treasures This was a great day of archaeology lectures! I had planned to take the Metro into Washington, D.C., but was running late (shocker!), so drove in. No spots on Jefferson Ave in front of the S. Dillon Ripley Center (sometimes I get lucky), so I parked at a meter at the end of the Mall (on 7th). That was actually convenient, as you can use an app on your phone to pay the meter, so I just renewed my spot every 2 hours…

Science without religion
“Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind.” -Albert Einstein I had never heard this quote before. I just read it, of all places, in the book, “Before the Fall” by Noah Hawley. I like it.
