Fascinating backstory: Belgian contemporary artist Louis de Cordier first fell for the Egyptian labyrinth as a teen via a Spanish book on Athanasius Kircher, gifted by sculptor Juan Muñoz. Reading Graham Hancock and Patrick Geryl deepened the obsession, leading him to Egypt around late 2006. Today he's a self-described 'project coordinator,' not an archaeologist.
