Armbrust,

I am a rookie at this, so please accept my apology if I am doing this wrong. I believe that this photo is copyright free. It is also shown on the Chinese Government website here: http://eg.china-embassy.org/eng/zaigx/zzgx/lstpz/t114683.htm

Hassan Ragab is mentioned a few times in Wikipedia -- as the founder of the Egyptian Green Party in 1990 and also as the scientist who rediscovered how Papyrus was made. This mention in in the main "Papyrus" page. However, Dr. Ragab is also perhaps most famous as being not only a VERY noble and important scientist in Egypt, but also an Egyptian General during WWII, and one of the educated military leaders who accepted the leadership of President Nassar in 1952. Because of this, he was the first ambasador to China, as well as the ambassador to many other countries in the 1950s. He retired from government early to focus on this interest in papyrus. I have heard Hassan Ragab referred to the Ben Franklin of Egypt... and I think that is about right. Your help in getting his photo and article published would be helpful to Wikipedia. THANKS in advance for your help.

This should proove that Dr. Ragab was indeed the Ambassador to China in 1956.

Hassan Ragab is mentioned a few times in Wikipedia elsewhere -- as the founder of the Egyptian Green Party in 1990 and also as the scientist who rediscovered how Papyrus was made. This mention is in the main "Papyrus" page. However, Dr. Ragab is also perhaps most famous as being not only a VERY noble and important scientist in Egypt, but also an Egyptian General during WWII, and one of the educated military leaders who accepted the leadership of President Nassar in 1952.
