I have always enjoyed Zahi Hawass' enthusiasm toward Egypt and archaeology...this "revolution" must be absolutely terrifying for him and others trying to protect Egypt's priceless artifacts! :-(

Good thing the British Museum refuses to return its Egyptian artifacts.

Hawass should have known this would happen eventually. Soon they will destroy everything in the Valley of the Kings.

Animals...nothing but animals.

What a loss to world history. Such a culture of death and destruction.

"[...}and smashed a statue of Tutankhamun [...]"

I am so thankful that I visited the King Tut exhibition which traveled around US about 4-5 years ago. It was, without doubt, one of the most amazing museum visit ever in my life. I am getting sick at the thought that these monsters are destroying these artifacts.

Reminds me of the communists in Russia, their libricide and their burning of so many masterpieces in the Tretyakov Gallery.

Beasts and savages, all of them...

Muslims and civilization. Obviously incompatible.

[count-your-change]

Hawass may have to worry soon about losing his own head more than the mummies losing theirs.

[Southack]

The Taliban routinely blows up statues in Afghanistan whenever they can cobble together enough explosives and volunteers to come out into Predator sites.

The Muslim Brotherhood feels the same way about the infidel monuments of ancient Egypt...

[Tempest]

Unfortunatly you’ll always end up with some young enterprising capitalist to take advantage of the situation.

I think we saw this one coming.

[catfish1957]

Yeah this is the same Hawass who last week spoke of the utmost importance to bring all Egyptian antiquities back to Cairo.

What a tool.

[Fresh Wind]

These stupid filthy animals have punished Egypt for the sin of taking money from tourists wanting to see the only thing Egypt has to offer the world.

They will now have to go back to living in tents and ******* camels for amusement, waiting for Allah’s blessing of virgins in the afterlife.

Why would anyone expect moslems to do anything else?

"I have always enjoyed Zahi Hawass' enthusiasm toward Egypt and archaeology...this "revolution" must be absolutely terrifying for him and others trying to protect Egypt's priceless artifacts! :-("

I've always thought that Hawass was a pompous jackwagon who felt that he .. and only he .. had personal ownership over all artifacts in Egypt and that only his interpretation of Egyptian history was valid. I made a special effort to avoid watching any history program which featured him as a primary narrator or interpreter.

For too many years, he had his way with antiquities interpretation, defending his interpretations and talking about how only Egypt .. and, by extension, he .. could safeguard those antiquities, and demanding return to Egypt of all "stolen" artifacts. I hope the rabble burns down all of the museums in Egypt so they can sit around and groove on the rubble of Islam after it's all destroyed.
