Many people make the mistake of thinking that dreams cannot come true, but they can. You have to believe, and know that they are more than just imagination.

Dr. Hawass was very happy to receive a special gift from President Obama today - a beautiful clock! It has two clock faces - one for local time and another for an international location (currently set to the current time in Washington DC) -the President's signature engraved on the top, and the President's Seal on the back. It is truly a lovely present.
