Talk about a Mideast dictatorship. You simply cannot read or view anything to do with ancient Egypt these days without being subjected to this guy with his nervous accent. Aren't there any OTHER egyptologists in the world anymore? Or has Hawass got them all locked in in a tomb somewhere?
(I know, I know, I spend too much time watching documentaries to let this bother me.)
If you get on Zahi's bad side, you probably won't be able to do field work in Egypt. :')
