I don't know about my fellow Raven members,but I rather like Zahi Hawass.He is interested in ancient history in such a way,that it makes other people interested in it as well.What I also like about him is he doesn't just site around in a stuffy office all day,he also gets involved in what is going on in Egypt,such as digs and other things.
Zahi Hawass is friends with actor Omar Sharif( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001725/ ).Omar Sharif was even at his sons wedding.
I think it would be good if Zahi Hawass and Harrison Ford met.

People often ask me, ‘well, it’s not really as exciting as Indiana Jones, now is it?’
I reply, ‘to an archaeologist, yes, it certainly is!’
— Zahi Hawass
The first statue I found was a statue of a dwarf.When I entered a shaft about 5 meters down,and I held this statue in my hands,it was exactly like when I held my first born son - exactly that same feeling.When you enter the shaft for the first time,that no one has entered before you - in the dark,the excitement and the adventure go to your heart,it trembles the heart,and this is why when you reveal it,you tremble the heart of the people.When you see a movie,it is thrill,but in a movie,they set this up.But for us,it is not a movie.It is real.
— Zahi Hawass
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.
— Zahi Hawass
For me, archaeology is not a just a job. It combines everything that I could want - imagination, intellect, action, and adventure.
— Zahi Hawass
What is important to me is that I have the great good fortune to spend my days doing something I love, and being given the opportunity to make a difference in the world.

Personal quotes from IMDB:
I believe that Egyptologists have a mission to teach interested young people about working in the past. Archaeology, after all, is not Indiana Jones. I encourage young people to study and prepare for the field.
When I started excavating--you know when you see someone and fall in love right away?--that is when I found my love. And when I did that, archaeology became everything in my life. This is why I tell every young person in Egypt and outside Egypt that they have to look and wait until they find their real love.
There is an ancient Egyptian saying that 'Man fears time, and time fears the Pyramids,' but this is no longer true. The Pyramids must fear time, too. (New York Times, August 10, 1997)
