Edit: next time i try to make a java joke I will do it properly. More people replied to this than any other comment I've ever made. Moral of the story: If you're going to joke around with programmers, do it properly.

Thanks for the AMA!

I read about the protesters forming a ring around the museum to protect the treasures inside during the protests, the subsequent looting of some artefacts and the ongoing problem with illegal and very well organized digs looting tombs and other sites.

• How important do you think it is to prevent this kind of thing from happening in the wake of political unrest?

• As an Egyptian, does it make you angry that some of your fellow countrymen take advantage of this situation to plunder bot a finanacial and spiritual treasure from the country?

• What, if anything, can be done to protect Egypt's history both for the sake of it's people and for general human knowledge?

The doccumentary 'into eternity' is a brilliant and somewhat surreal exploration of the disposal issue. I would highly reccomend it

Thanks for answering - I hope /r/IAmA backups are somehow one of the doccuments which survives for future historians. They are a standard of uncensored insight into 'ordinary' people's lives which I could only wish we had for any period in history
