Reflections Of My First Trip To Africa
by Atlantis T. Browder

It’s been 30 years since Atlantis Browder made her first trip to Africa as a seven-year-old visiting Egypt with family and friends. That sparked a keen interest in travel and history. She has visited seven countries in Africa since 1989, but Egypt continues to hold a special place in her heart. Atlantis has traveled to Egypt 14 times and has spent the last nine years working with her dad excavating two 2700-year-old tombs on the West Bank of Luxor, Egypt. Atlantis and her dad are the first African Americans, father/daughter archaeological team, and she holds the distinction of being the first African American to enter the tombs of Karakhamun and Karabasken.
