Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on July 08, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Professor Qustandi Shomali! Another year wiser—but let's face it, you’re already so wise that history itself sometimes emails asking you for fact-checks. Your latest publications have been brilliant; rumor has it even the footnotes are best-sellers.

Your lectures at Bethlehem University continue to inspire and captivate students—many suspect you've secretly invented a time machine since your vivid storytelling effortlessly transports everyone back through centuries of fascinating historical tales. May this birthday be filled with stories as wonderful as those you tell, laughs loud enough to echo in lecture halls, and more success than ancient Mesopotamia had clay tablets!
