Ash talks at length about Christiane Desroches Noblecourt; a French archeologist who basically saved Egyptology more than once. We focus in on her World War 2 contributions for this episode and encourage our listeners to read more about the more well known parts of her career from the links below. We also encourage our listeners to check out the World Monument Foundation to learn about how you can take part in a global effort to keep historic monuments safe from wars, natural disasters, climate change, and non- helpful human interference such as graffiti and theft.
