G*D*SS bless him. John Anthony West was much loved and well known for a long time in my hometown. Many of us traveled to Egypt or (in my case) had the
occasional privilege of his acquaintance over the years.
Though we'll miss him, I pray he'll be around to guide us, his fellow apocalyptic archeologists, to continue his work, if he doesn't mind too much.
I really hope that one day soon his work is accepted into the mainstream and he is remembered as one of the men who changed the timeline of human
civilisation as we know it.
