Hawass needs to catch a very painful disease for the damage he has singlehandedly wrought upon the science of archaeology.
I highly doubt that a ‘secret’ was merely hidden under a layer of paint (correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems unprecedented in Egyptology) but, unlike Hawass, I’d find that the discovery merits investigation itself...rather than persecuting one of his peers for the discovery.
I wholeheartedly agree.
“Hawass needs to catch a very painful disease for the damage he has singlehandedly wrought upon the science of archaeology.”
That dude has a serious ego issue.
If it wasn’t about Zahi Hawass then it didn’t see the light of day. I experienced a bit of schadenfreude when he was escorted out the back door and told to take his hat with him.
