Meeting at school
When both men left high school, they entered university where they first met each other. They were both part of the archaeology department at the University of Dresden and were very excited to begin learning. They got along very well and found much to talk about, seeing how they had common interests.
Both soon found out that they were tied together by something that was stronger than just their love of history. In fact, it was their theories on ancient Egypt that made their bond even tighter. They both thought that established science had many holes in it and was wrong about some things.
