Quote of the Day:

“Now I need to take a piece of wood and make it sound like the railroad track, but I also had to make it beautiful and lovable so that a person playing it would think of it in terms of his mistress, a bartender, his wife, a good psychiatrist – whatever…”

    1. Its all how you ask
      43

      Its not the answer that is important its the question. I think you could be right that Dr. Hawass already knows about the caves so its not “new” to him and others.

      Living in China for many years taught me that I need to ask the same question at least 3 different ways to get to the answer I am looking for.

      Example: I am in a shop looking for something and this exchange is quite typical.

      Q: Do you sell this?

      A: No. (Nothing more is offered other than NO)

      Q: Do you sell this but now you don’t have it?

      A: No

      Q: Do you sell something that is very similar?

      A: No

      Q: Do you have sell something very similar but today you do not have it in stock?

      A: Yes

      Q: Will you have in stock before I die of old age?

      …and so on! After years of doing this I could be a detective! haha

      Cheers
