0:14.9	Yeah, man. I'm excited to be here. I'm excited to chat with you guys. Ed, why don't you
0:17.9	introduce yourself and tell people who are listening a little bit about
0:21.1	your background and how you discovered a Lost City when you were 25 years old? Well, okay.
0:27.5	I'm an archaeologist, explorer, educator, and I've been at this for over 30 years now. I'm 56 this
