This man is one of my biggest heroes! He is the director of the Giza Plateau Mapping Project and president of AERA Inc. Mr. Lehner conducts digs near the Great Pyramids in Giza and around the Sphinx. Mr. Lehner is well-known as a pioneer in the use of state-of-the-art technology to model the ancient configuration of the Giza Plateau. Among many other things, Mr. Lehner also occasionally teaches at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago at Harvard Semitic Museum.
Here is one of my favorite pictures of Mark Lehner.
There are many cool pictures of Mark Lehner and his crew on their last excavation in Egypt.
