Wow.  It is June already?  I guess it is.  It was actually a US AND 
Egyptian team (University of Pennsylvania and Egyptian Geological 
Museum), but the press never remembers that.  The last version I saw 
(maybe three weeks ago), the music and the narration were still TEMP 
and they were terrible.  I suspect that has improved by now, though...
