2021: Appeared on the TV program “Hakase-chan” and others
Engaged in activities to share and spread knowledge about how wonderful the ancient Egyptian civilization was, including the presentation of research on mummy-making at the Embassy of Egypt and serving as a lecturer in online classes for children of Arab countries

The three ways that I want to be of use to the world through archaeology are as follows.

“Society without discrimination”
Rather than forcing cultures, religions and values on each other, creating a society where the differences are understood and respected. The things that others’ values are protected.

“A peaceful world”
Learning from the mistakes of the past and making an effort not to repeat major mistakes like wars.

“Lifestyles that are friendly to the planet”
Finding clues to resolve environmental issues and countermeasures for disasters through the ingenuity applied in the lifestyles of ancient times.

Pharaohs and people involved in the construction of pyramids were all human beings and lived while repeatedly launching challenges and making mistakes. We people of modern times are no different from them.

That is why I would like to promote research and consideration that would enable us to get to know ancient times, and learn from and make good use of the thinking and mistakes of our ancestors.

To enable this, I would like to be active on a global scale, and also study about languages and the latest technologies, coming to understand the cultures and histories of others around the world through various encounters.
