THE END OF ZAHI HAWASS - SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE MEMORIES!!!!
So if I want to know something about Zahi , I'll just hear it from someone who knows the real hard - core facts. I couldn't trust Zahi to tell me how to enter any museum anywhere around the world whatsoever. I'd rather want to go there by myself or ask Robert Bauval or somene who does real research. I was in Denmark over 10 years ago in the Thorvaldsen museum exploring ancient egyptian artefacts and there was no Zahi there to tell me how old they were. The pictures are absoluely stunning , but the text in books written by Haiwass reads for me like rotten flesh. I can't trust someone who fantasizes about pharaohs and slaves and doesn't say anything or complain when tourists are being denied access to sites and when Egyptian authorities are showing disrespect and dishonour towards the people of modern Egypt to tell me that he knows more or less than others about ancient Egyptian culture. I've seen a couple of Zahi's books and they don't strike me of being particularly impressive although the photographs are nonetheless striking , which I feel is characteristic of a significant majority of some of the once myriad one - sided views only litterature on ancient Egypt which portrayed ancient Egypt in an extremely negative light over 20 to 30 years ago. Truth be known , the real curator of the ancient mysteries of Egypt , is the pyramid builders and those who had arrived before them and the wisdomkeepers of modern Egypt. I once spoke to a man who is a close friend of mine but has not yet discovered that there is life on other planets like other people can do by the use of simple arithmetical base logic , who told me that he had gone to Egypt himself to see if it was possible that pharaohs could have built the pyramids. He told me that the feeling he got was that he didn't feel that this was the work of pharaohs. That perhaps the culture which built those pyramids had to be pre - dynastic. So here we've got the testimony of a man who went there by himself and had no desire to invest in the attention of others just to become famous for the sake of it unlike Zahi Hawass who's just there to sell lies for products and connive people. The current government of Egypt has not resigned , offered damage fee and reconstructed lost monumental evidence , at least not according to the content of recent DVD's I've been watching on ancient Egypt and the construction of the pyramids. Where was mr. Why doesn't the man just go all the way and go get himself a White House position? So long mr. Zahi , and thanks for all the memories. Zahi Hawass and the egyptian authorities'current behavior in regard to the inhabitants of the Giza plateu are two reasons for why we're hearing the term 'Egyptologist'mentioned with increasingly less amount of frequency. Well , at least I can wish mr. Zahi a happy 2010!!! (Review Data Last Updated: 2010-05-31 23:54:41 EST)
