<p>[ul][<em>]Brown’s “department” of Egyptology consisted, until last year, of one professor. Penn has always maintained a minimum of 3.
[</em>]Penn’s collection of Egyptian antiquities is by far the largest in the western hemisphere and one of the 5 largest outside Egypt.
[<em>]Penn had been running massive excavations in Egypt and the Near East for over 70 years before the Egyptology department at Brown was founded.
[</em>]Penn has produced the likes of Zahi Hawass, Janet Richards, Lanny Bell, Ellen Morris, and Stephen Harvey. Brown has failed to produce a single notable Egyptologist.[/ul]</p>
