Among archaeologists, Zahi is all alone in his statement; his statement is based entirely on blind belief and nationalism, with a hint of self-aggrandizement.

I dont see anything wrong with his statement, maybe you do. He seems to be more of an authority than anyone here or on other chat boards, so you have your opinion.

"Zahi Hawass, Egyptian archeologist and secretary-general of the Egyptian Supreme Council for Antiquities, strongly disagrees with the use of carbon dating in archeology."

“Carbon-14 dating has a margin of error of 100 years. In order to date Egyptian dynasties, we need to have specific dates; you cannot use carbon dating,” Hawass explained to Al-Masry Al-Youm. “This technique shouldn’t be used at all in making changes to the chronology of the ancient Egypt, not even as a helpful addition.”
