Mar. 31st, 2009 12:10 pmComment to this post and I'll entrust you with five subjects I believe you uniquely qualified to discuss. Then post this in your LJ and tell me something I don't know about the subjects given.
The Fourth Egyptian Dynasty - The Great Pyramid at Giza, unlike the other large archetectural structures built by the pharoahs, has absolutely no writings or inscriptions on the inside of it. Completely blank, which is highly unusual as the pharoahs loved to put their name on everything. It's for this reason, I believe, the egyptians didn't build the pyramids. Hieroglyphs themselves almost seem to be based off of an older more established form of writing that evolved over time.
Knowledge - A dangerous thing in the wrong hands but so curious are we that we continue to look for it.
The allure of the past - There's nothing quite like coming across something that hasn't been discovered before. It's like you've found a key to something everyone else forgot...and now only you know it. Quite amazing really.
Public speaking - This is actually the number one fear of the average person. Number two is death, ironically.
A hobby of yours - I...don't have much outside of work. I do the occasional word puzzle from time to time. Othello is a favorite game of mine, but I still haven't found anyone who can beat me yet.
(and just because)doppelgängers - I keep running into them. There's apparently another Daniel Jackson running around here...doesn't even look like me but we appear to be the same person in memory and qualifications. Verrrry strange.
