How awful. Hawass is a good man who loves his country and its history.

Fanatical Muslims hate non-Islamic religions. In Afghanistan, many people first heard of the Taliban when they dynamited the giant Buddha statues early in 2001.

Ever wonder how the Sphinx lost its nose? Muslims.
Now other Egyptian antiquities are being damaged by the Muslim revolutionaries.

But don't worry -- Obama assured me that these people are secular types who just want democracy.

The Islamists will destroy 4000 years of history in a generation.

Hawass was as crooked as the rest of them. If you (a university) wanted to conduct a dig, you had better spend half your budget on taking him out for a good time, or you are screwed. He was a backward man in a backward culture in a backward country. When I think of all the things that were returned to egypt, uh! They’ll all be destroyed by the muzzies now.

Good riddance. The man was a troll. I had the unfortunate opportunity to meet him twice.

These are the dreams of our leader for the US. Destroy our heritage and history and form a new socialistic era.

Seems like just yesterday Hawass was screaming at the western world to return Egyptian antiques to Egypt. Thank goodness not all listened and in the future to see the real deal may only be outside of Egypt.

Don’t really care about Dr Hawass, but it’s sad to read about the looting. I hope someone steps in to protect these sites.

Dr. Hawass was one of my favorite guys on the History Channel UNTIL I heard him praising Hamas and the PLO and excoriating Israel.

The “palestinians” do the exact same thing as other moslems do...destroying (or usurping with mosques)incredibly precious heritage sites such as Joseph’s Tomb, The Church of the Nativity, The Temple Mount, John The Baptist’s tomb in Damascus, The Church of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Joshua’s Tomb, The Garden Tomb, Tombs of Jewish sages throughout Israel, The Giant Buddhas in Afghanistan, The Golden Temple of the Hindus, And even The Tomb of the Jewish Patriarchs at Machpelah in Hebron. Not to mention the Site of Flight 93 and the World Trade Center. There is even a mosque in MY NEIGHBORHOOD close to the apartment complex where Mohammed Ata lived while he was going to flying school.

I have always loved the art of Ancient Egypt and am deeply distressed by its destruction at the hands of these fanatics. But Dr. Hawass is being a wee bit hypocritical.

Just my humble opinion.

They did a piece on this guy in the American Airlines magazine last month.

He was controversial, but put Egyptians in charge of their heritage, got things on the right track, and was world respected.

Looks like he is a casualty of the "revolution", as is the tourist industry.

If the point of the "revolution" was to make things better, the muhammedans are going to be mighty surprised.

Oh, it’s all so depressing. The days of Lord Carnarvon are over.

Maybe we can finally find out what’s under the foot of the Sphinx now.

“Divorce him!!!”

What he told one of his interns when her husband complained that she was away from home too long.

Apparently, he is a very difficult person to work for. No one wanted to be on his team.

My wife and I laugh and say “divorce him!” every time we see him on TV.

LOL. A bit of a character. Have to tell my wife.

All of a sudden the liberal elitists of Europe and America will howl about the revolution in Egypt. Somehow they will compartmentalize it all and forget how 0bama and Hillary supported it.

This is tragic. Dr. Hawass has been the leading voice speaking for the Paroahs and the treasures they left behind.

Dr. Hawass, if you ever find yourself on this site, thank you for your life’s work.

I believe this is old news and I believe Hawass is back.

With all his shortcomings, not only am I going to miss having him around, but it is a disaster for Egypt's heritage.

By the time the Muslim Brotherhood is finished, it'll be similar, though on a much larger & important scale, to what the Palis did to the greenhouses the Israelis left behind in their last pull out.

Too bad it is way too late to take King Tut into protective custody...not that Obozo would have allowed it.
