The most important member of the team, Hagg Sidain Abdel Razzik, has been taking care of the expedition and all of its various needs for more than 30 years. It is no exaggeration to say that none of our work would be possible without him. Sadly, after a brief illness, he passed away in December 2012 and will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know him. A man of great dignity, generosity, humor and wisdom, there is no one who knew and loved the site better and worked harder to keep it safe.
