Excavating A Secret

Dear Advisor Partners,

Usually, I can keep a secret well, then there are times that you just can’t keep it, no matter how hard you try.  Let me explain by first saying how great it is to be back in Egypt, leading what has now become our annual educational, every November. This year had a different feeling however, because of all the new discoveries, especially the mummies in Saqqara.

How do you top reading about a new mummy discovery? Well… by having your amazing Egypt team get special access to the active dig site, which happens to be near the private and newly excavated tomb, featured on Netflix. That’s exactly what we did, and we topped it off by having the hosts of the Netflix documentary as our guides.

This is the beauty of Egypt. Stay tuned as we take you as only Big Five can, beyond the pyramids in our multi-part dispatch. In the meantime, enjoy this first video.
