Yeah, absolutely.

So a fabulous book.

It takes you to places that most of the rest of the world is never going to go and explore themselves.

I remember reading a contemporary account of when Agatha Christie published her two books, Murder in Mesopotamia and Death on the Nile.

And people were saying, oh, my God, we really want to get out there.

We really want to go and see the pyramids because her her discussion of these things that people might have seen a photo of or a drawing of.

Because most of the world has been explored.

And a lot of what people like me and you are doing now is retracing the steps of other worlds.
