SQUEEEE - you guessed!!!! Yes indeed, the third of my puki-djinn is indeed named after the adorably fun Director of Egyptian Antiquities!!! And what a great comparison - he really is like a Steve Irwin LOL.
I am not such a great fan of Zahi al-Hawass, in particular the organizational system (or rather, lack thereof) currently in use at the Cairo Museum. They have lost mummies in there! On the other hand, the urge it evokes in me to go down to Egypt and make them organize everything makes me feel pleasantly like Amelia Peabody, so I can't really say I object to that...
