PS: you all can look it up if you like, I found it in Cosmos just a few minutes ago. Sagan said he found the Assuan well info in an old papyrus he was reading, while he was director of the library at Alexandria
Thats funny, my Cosmos says that some of his contemporaries called him that because he was second best in everything he did ... i.e. not quite Alpha
