Chami, Felix
Dr. Chami is a professor of archaeology at the University of Dar es Salaam. He has uncovered a site on Juani Island off the coast of East Africa, which he believes will substantially increase the evidence that East Africa was part of a wider Indian Ocean community. Previous to Dr. Chami's discoveries of this and other sites on the Tanzanian coast, most scholars had never considered East Africa as part of the ancient world. Recently Dr. Chami commented, "This is a marvel. I believe this was a major Iron Age site. I can assure you this will change the archaeology of East Africa."

Gibson, Dan
For more than twenty years, author Dan Gibson has pursued the elusive and often mysterious ancient Nabataeans. His travels have included most of the countries of the Middle East, and many western research libraries and museums. His passion for understanding the Nabataeans has taken him into the deserts of Arabia where he has examined many of the lesser known Nabataean sites, as well as having lived and moved for several years with nomadic Bedouin tribes. The culmination of his research has been published in the hardbound volume The Nabataean Collection. Many of his research papers and pictures have also been made available free to all interested people through thisInternet site.

Gibson, David
When he was 12 years old, David contacted polio while swimming in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of New Jersey. Once the family moved to the prairie farm, David did the bookkeeping for the farm, and spent the rest of his time pursuing his hobby: researching Middle Eastern archeology. Several years later David married a German girl, Hattie, and moved to the nearby town of Wainwright. Here David opened an accounting office and store. Since polio tied him to his wheel chair and desk, he spent considerable time pursuing Holy Land studies, and writing books and papers that were of interest to historians and Bible scholars.
