He had too much power as it was.

[kimmie7]

We get a kick out of watching Zahi. He’s rather amusing.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Well, he’d better get over to the museum. I understand that it is on fire.

[sappy]

i enjoy the shows he is in, but he comes off as “no one is as good as an Egyptian”

[Jim Noble]

He covers up all the findings pointing to aliens...

[cripplecreek]

Hawass is a problem simply because his views are the only ones that are acceptable. Kind of like global warming.

No doubt he’s a brilliant man. Unfortunately he’s also arrogant and I suspect racist.

[Dryman]

You are correct.

He is an impediment to any real Archaeology due to his Egypto-centric philosophy.

[sappy]

i think he is a racist too. i have heard him on a few of the discovery and history channel shows he’s featured in, say some pretty nasty things about others and their views/findings/translations

[Argus]

I crack my wife up with my Zahi Hawass impression just by saying “pyramid pyramid pyramid” using his accent. I actually met him once, back in the 80’s when I was on a museum council for egyptology. He was the same guy - very focused and ambitious, a smoothie with sharp elbows.

[fish hawk]

Oh no!!! his ego is so big already he had to quit wearing his hat. Did you ever see him when he loses his temper? LOL it’s not pretty. (and he knows the cameras are running but just don’t give a damn)

[SunkenCiv]

It’s a sure sign the regime plans to hang on.

Arrogant b@stard. Prima Dona.

[colorado tanker]

Hmmm. I wonder how he gets along with Baradei.

[TigersEye]

Now that was a surprising choice. /s lol

[TigersEye]

I always thought he comes off as “no one is as good as Zahi Hawass.”

[tarheelswamprat]

He covers up all the findings pointing to aliens...

Careful, Jim. The Free Republic Anthropocentric Historical Orthodoxy posse might hear about this and chastise you mercilessly... /g

[SunkenCiv]

Merciless chastising belongs in “chat”.
