No kidding. Zahi Hawass is so full of shit it drives me crazy.
I don't know if you follow any ancient egypt documentaries, and I'm not sure what his actual title is, but in a nutshell Hawass is pretty much the top egyptologist overseeing all archeology in the region for the Egytpian government. What makes me crazy is he does all these specials on History and Discovery, etc etc and he presents his theories as facts. When new information comes out and contradicts what he put out there before he just changes the story in the next special w/o skipping a beat.
If you watch something made even just a few years ago vs something made today it's like night and day. So what he told us he knew for fact backed by all this "evidence" was all bullshit and misinterpretation but NOW he wants us to believe he knows what he's talking about?
I just appreciate when theories are presented as just that, theories. I like a "this is what we found and this is what we think it might mean" set up. Our concept of history and the truth of actual events will always be skewed.
