In 1999, Josh Smith, a University of Pennsylvania graduate student in paleontology, was sharing a beer with friends who were discussing their fantasy expeditions. "If you could go anywhere in the world, " they asked each other, "which archeological mystery would you want to solve?" Their conclusion? Stromer's Lost Dinosaurs. In 1911, Ernst Stromer led an expedition to Egypt's Bahariya Oasis and discovered four new species of dinosaurs, including the Tyrannosaurus rex-size predator Spinosaurus. Following this expedition, Stromer returned -- with the fossils, maps, and details of his discovery -- to Munich. But, tragically, all of his work was incinerated in 1944 during the Allied bombing of the city. Josh Smith and a team of fourteen scientists, under the direction of world-renowned paleontologist Dr. Peter Dodson, returned to Egypt to retrace Stromer's steps after the discovery of a manuscript in Cairo that gave both the latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates for the historic expedition. Working on luck as much as through scientific analysis, the team blundered onto an archeological site that yielded awe-inspiring results. They discovered an entirely new genus of dinosaur, Paralititan stromeri, the second largest to have walked the earth. This expedition was funded by Cosmos Studios, led by Ann Druyan, wife and collaborator of the late Carl Sagan, whose book Cosmos was published by Random House. The expedition was filmed in its entirety by A&E and will air as a two-hour documentary in February 2002.
