Today, April 30th, we have put an end to the fourth season of the MKTP at Deir el-Bahari. These three weeks have been a very intensive period, without a single break, to reach the goals previously defined over the year. The lack of weekends and a non-stop daily pace from 6 AM to 4:30 PM together with the afternoon-evening work have transformed 21 days into the work of 35 days, which is the amount of time we originally planned to work in the site. The team members, exhausted, have demonstrated a great capacity to adapt themselves to the circumstances and achieve all the goals. Today, all of us had different sensations and feelings, with an immense happiness at closing the tombs and knowing that we have fulfilled all our objectives, but a bit of sadness because of the colleagues, duties, and stories that once more we are leaving behind.
