#HistorysFirstArchaeologist: We got a winner!

#Nabonidus, King of Babylon takes the trophy home.

But #Khaemweset delivered an exciting and close run, in particular in the last quarter. So, who knows, maybe they sooner or later agree on a return match ...

#Khaemweset's catching up. Slowly though. Does he still have a chance beating #Nabonidus in the race for the title of #HistorysFirstArchaeologist, though? 🤔😬😉

Poll still running, final 45 mins!

Preliminary results are in:

So far #Nabonidus seems to increase the lead over his ancient Egyptian opponent - but #HistorysFirstArchaeologist poll's still running for 9 hours. 😉

While the archaeological interest of both, #Khaemweset and #Nabonidus, likely rather followed political and religious tracks, they're both attributed with a certain historical curiosity - and both have been named "#HistorysFirstArchaeologist".

So, choose your player. 😉

Turns out, "#HistorysFirstArchaeologist" is a highly competitive field.

Next to our ancient Mesopotamian king we also got an even more ancient Egyptian prince going to the mat for the title …
