The personable and photogenic Zahi Hawass, director of the Eqyptian Antiquities Authority (I think that's his title). He never met a camera he didn't like. Check out PBS, Discovery, or The Learning Channel. Or the History Channel. There are few weeks that go by without Dr. Hawass showing up somewhere. Don't get me wrong, I think Hawass has overall been good for Egyptian archaeology, but he knows that public support means more money.
