a different kind of geek

« »

Mr. Bee is a very famous archaeologist. You may have seen certain feature films based on his character, played by a sexy human actor. Mr. Bee may not be as ruggedly handsome as his movie counterpart, but he is just as smart and geeky in his vast knowledge of cultures past.

19th Dynasty pharaoh, King Amenmesses had a tomb decorated for him in the Valley of the Kings.The tomb was originally created for Amenmeses, but the decorations were erased and replaced with painted plaster scenes for the burial of a daughter and a queen. Why was Amenmeses not interred? Is he still alive? Such mysteries are the adventures Mr. Bee faces daily.

    He does, but he doesn’t use time travel to give him an advantage over his archaeologist peers.

    I thought I left a comment when I first saw this post? I guess not. Anyway, must be quite an advantage to have wings when you are a daredevil/archaeologist such as your Mr Bee.

    Thank you for stopping by my page and I will be sure to stop by here again to see how this mystery unfolds :)
