		Hawass: We've uncovered titles of the craftsmen, draftsmen, tombmakers, the overseer of the east side of the Pyramid, the overseer of the west side of the Pyramid, and so on.

	Zahi Hawass and Egypt’s restitution cases « Elginism
		Zahi Hawass, who had become secretary general of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities a year earlier, was incensed by what he called “an insult to Egypt’s heritage.” Not long after the event, he demanded the return of the bust to Egypt, along with four other objects in European and American museums.
		Hawass recently demanded the return of a 3,200-year-old mummy mask from the St. Louis Art Museum, claiming that it was stolen from a storeroom in Egypt in the early 1990s.
		Hawass has closed down a number of excavations that he says were run by “amateurs or adventurers not connected with an institution.” He encourages archeology in the Nile Delta, where the watery environment is ruinous to objects, but he has stopped issuing permits for new digs in Upper (southern) Egypt.

	The Challenge Answered
		Zahi Hawass appeared at the National Geographic Headquarters auditorium on October 15, 2003 as part of a world tour in support of his new autobiography entitled : ZAHI HAWASS Secrets from the Sand - My Search for Egypt’s Past.
		It proved Dr. Hawass to have been 100% wrong in his previous position, for it proved once and for all, that indeed, there are undiscovered and unopened chambers with the Great Pyramid of Cheops.
		But then Dr. Hawass commented that “these chambers were found off what is called the Queen’s Chamber, but we don’t know if it was ever used by a Queen.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Profile \| Zahi Hawass: A hat is a hat
		There are photographs of Hawass excavating in the Valley of the Golden Mummies, of Hawass sitting behind Champollion's desk in Paris, of Hawass lecturing President Hosni Mubarak and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder at the opening of the Tutankhamun exhibition in Bonn.
		Famously, in 2003, Hawass banned British archaeologist Joann Fletcher from working in Egypt, denouncing her as "nuts" when she announced that a previously-discovered mummy in the Valley of the Kings might be that of Nefertiti.
		Hawass, of course, as well as being SCA secretary-general, is the National Geographic's honourary explorer-in-residence, something that has led to accusations of a conflict of interests, particularly when it comes to subjects, like the CT-scan of Tutankhamun's mummy, that excite widespread public interest.

		Zahi Hawass, the director general of the Giza Pyramid complex and a leading Egyptian archaeologist, hurried to the site, which turned up more and more of those golden-masked corpses--105 in the first year of excavation alone, the largest number of mummies yet discovered at a single Egyptian site.
		Hawass explains that these mummies, probably remains of people of a merchant class, date from the second and third century C.E. The text is geared to the general reader and Hawass is a great storyteller with a knack for providing the spicy detail (sometimes his persona intrudes a bit too muchDa small criticism).
		Zahi Hawass was director general of Giza, Saqqara, Imbaba, and Bahariya Oasis who was concentrating his excavations at the Giza Pyramids, particularly the Tombs of the Pyramid Builders, when the Golden Mummies were discovered in the Bahariya Oasis in 1996.

	Hawass brings star power to Glenn
		When Zahi Hawass strode to the Glenn Auditorium dais Oct. 22, his giant image floating behind him on a movie screen, the effect was one more akin to a rock star or Oscar-winning actor than an archaeologist.
		Indeed, the film—titled "Zahi Hawass: King of the Pyramids"—reinforced its star’s charisma, showing him bombarded by paparazzi at public events and being met with a mixture of pride and awe by his fellow Egyptians.
		Hawass recounted how the Carlos earlier this year had returned to Egypt four pieces from the tomb of Seti I (son of Ramesses I), a move wholly in keeping with Hawass’ belief that many of the ancient treasures and artifacts currently in museums and private collections around the world rightfully belong back in their homeland.

	Keynes and the Pyramids - Mises Institute
		In several specials on the pyramids, Hawass has used the opportunity to proclaim that the pyramids were in fact built by free and well-rewarded laborers, and thus should be viewed as monuments to the greatness of the ancient Egyptian nation.
		Hawass' reply to my line of argument appeared in an earlier Egyptian special, devoted to the original excavation of the pyramid builders' village, in which he evoked the principle of Egyptian nationalism.
		Hawass' ideological reading of the history of the pyramids is a perfect example of what van Creveld and others mean when they talk about projecting the nation-state back into a pre-nationalist past.

	The incomparable Zahi Hawass
		The passion of Hawass often focuses on the arduous struggle fighted daily by him against the proponents of the Atlantidean or extraterrestrials theories on the origin of the Egyptian civilization.
		Hawass reports with irony the numerous radar and geognostic prospectings, realized by foreign institutes in the last 20 years, which claimed to have discovered rooms under the Sphinx, and the following perforations that didn't discover anything.
		Zahi admits that he doesn't know any of those finds and he begins to make other examples of the Egiptian slyness, like the method used to lower heavy sarcophagi underground, gradually removing the sand from the bottom.

	Egypt: The Egyptologists
		Hawass is currently one of the most famous Egyptologists in the world, credited with considerable work at Giza, as well as the Western Oasis.
		Both he, and Hawass, were highly visible in the debate that raged, and sometimes continues to raise its ugly head, over the age of the Sphinx and the construction of the pyramids.
		Of course, both Lehner and Hawass argued the side of traditional Egyptology, maintaining that the Sphinx dates to the 4th Dynasty and was not built thousands of years earlier, and that there was nothing supernatural or alien about the construction of the great pyramids at Giza.

		Hawass explained that his hopes lay in what is beyond the "end" of the Queen's Chamber's southern shaft, and what is beyond the "door" of the northern shaft.
