Just before we burn the story down, let me set it up for you.

Because the story, I mean, it's the one that I knew, which I find utterly charming.

Somewhere about halfway between Cairo and Luxor, there is this unnamed woman filling her basket with stuff.

hard baked.

She's going to take them home.

She's going to crush them up and use them as fertilizer.

And then, I mean, this is after God knows how many she's pulverized, she realizes that actually this is one of the most important historical documents man will ever find.

I wrote this down because I've known this story for such a long time.

I wrote it down.

I wish I knew who said it.

How many she had pulverized and grown into leeks and cucumbers and melons will never be known.

I don't know.

It was a long time ago.

Because I was really into it, like every school child, very much into Egyptology to a very shallow degree.

But I just did think, actually, you know, we live in a day where leaks destroy important documents.

This is like the protein leak story.

I went through all my little notebooks and my really terrible drawings of Nefertiti and Tutankhamen, which will never be seen in public.

But Eric, so look, I really loved that story.

Tell me why you're doing that face, Eric.

Why are you making that face?
