Bel,
It is my pleasure! You see, no one I actually know has an interest in Egypt like I do. The small amount of conversation regarding Egypt that I actual engage in (other than teaching my 7 year old son) is usually with people that have simple questions about the ancient Egyptians and that is usually pertaining to the pyramids. I thouroughly enjoy learning from and discussing different topics with people like yourselves and those on other discussion boards.
I would search through the TV guide for shows on Egypt anyways because I try to tape as much as I can, but I figure by sharing when certain programs air with those on this board, I hope to start or engage in some intersesting dialogue
By the way, here is the continuosly growing list I have of documentaries and programs on Egypt. I have been slacking though as you may notice there have been some recent programs that have aired that you will not find in my list. Please know that these tapes are not my only source of information on Ancient Egypt....I have read many books. I say this because many of these programs give wrong or biased information...but they are about Ancient Egypt none the less and Ancient Egypt is what I love ! :
