This is just the offense, the thread includes defense and special teams.
The Jewish "Argentinian Egyptologist who saved hundreds of Nubian treasures" in the 60's
Rosenvasser’s parents were originally from a village in what is now Ukraine. But in 1891 they had to flee anti-Jewish pogroms and ended up putting down roots in a small Jewish colony in inland Argentina, where they were allocated a 180-hectare plot of land to farm.
...
In 1933, Rosenvasser had a stroke of luck when a small fragment of an undeciphered papyrus found in a museum in Argentina came into his hands. Thanks to what he had been able to learn about hieroglyphs, he discovered that it was part of the tale of Sinuhe, considered one of the finest works of ancient Egyptian literature.
This finding earned Rosenvasser the respect of international Egyptologists and ultimately the opportunity to travel to Nubia, where he was given the task of saving the Aksha temple, built by Ramesses II

Some good news if you hate toy scalpers
I love the Micro Galaxy Squadron line of ships (the Razor Crest is 22% off at Amazon), but the ships I like most are all the chase versions gobbled up by scalpers. The reseller listings for Sabine's Tie all ask for well over $100 for a sealed box, but Jazwares just released a slightly updated one for $30 (and you can get a 15% off code signing up for their email):
New deluxe Gipsy Danger figure and new super, super-deluxe Cammy figure
These are both by Infinity Studios. Gipsy comes with lots of accessories including a cargo ship and is $240. But that will sound low because Cammy, with squishable nose and posable braids, is $1070:
Infinity Studio will be bringing the fight to SDCC! Check out the brand-new Cammy 1:3 Action Figure from the Street Fighter video game series. Featuring silicone skin, swappable hands, and braided hair, this poseable figure will be available from Sideshow soon!@infinitystudioc pic.twitter.com/QBQvTtDq3I
