The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is backing efforts of Dominican historical researcher Kathleen Martinez in her quest to find the tomb of Cleopatra in Egypt. Her research revived interest in the mystery of the tomb.
In a new development, Hong Kong dentist is expected in Santo Domingo for two days to meet with Martinez, and assist in the search for the tomb. Martinez has been working with chief researcher Zahi Hawass since 2005. After meeting with Martinez, the plan is for him to design a high-tech robot that will allow for more precise access to chosen Egyptian ruins.
As reported in Hoy, Martinez told the press, "Ng Tze-Chuen and myself have many things in common. He is a dentist dedicated to invent robots and research tools; I am a lawyer by profession with a passion for archaeology. We both pursue our dreams."
During his visit, Ng Tze-Chuen is scheduled to meet with Foreign Affairs Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso and the rector of the Catholic University of Santo Domingo, Father Ramon Alonso Beato.
Following his success designing dental tools for his own use in computer dentistry, he was invited by European Space Agency to participate in designing virtually all the sampling tools on board UK 2003 Beagle 2 Mars Lander. It is believed that those sampling tools became the first Chinese made tools to have landed on a planet outside Earth.?
Recently, Ng has been appointed by Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, to organize a team for the third attempt of robotic exploration of the so-called "2nd Door" extending from the shafts of the Queen's Chamber of the Great Pyramid to search for the secret chambers behind. The 2nd attempt, which was by iRobot of MIT, was live televised globally on the National Geographic Channel in Sept 2002.
