a fellow of the Royal Society

credentials are impeccable
and its the end user that
benefits from this. He adds
colour and texture to the
sterile pictures that we have
in traditional imagery of
Ancient Egypt. We were lucky
enough to ask Mark 4
questions which he answered
for us and is featured on the last page of this article.
