No, CHUM isn't joining the Amway family. With our Egypt trip in mind, CHUM’s April 20th speaker is someone who dives into the history of ancient pyramids. Literally.
For the past 3 years, Justin Schneider has been overseeing the technical diving aspects of an archeological expedition in what is modern-day Sudan. The pyramids in Nuri, once numbering over 80, were built as the royal necropolis for the ancient Nubian kings and queens of the Kingdom of Kush. As a result of several factors, the subterranean burial chambers of many pyramids near the Nile River are now underwater. Justin and his team use diving equipment to explore these flooded tombs, re-discovering their lost history. The team's work has been chronicled by National Geographic's Flooded Tombs of the Nile.
