he is the only one that oversees all antiques and is the only one with access to them. oh and he has to be there whenever something is discovered before they open in.

In the Giza area that is his job. He's also a bit of an egotiscal dude, so he tends to get a bit of media coverage.

Trivia question, who was his predecessor? Don't know? He WASN'T a media hound and so most people have never heard of him yet he operated in the same way as Hawass.

Remember that Egypt was open for looting for thousands of years. It was the French and British who slowly brought it under control and past that control to the Egyptians. Uncontrolled looting still continues in the countryside at an alarming rate.

Hawass has been there for ages, I can remember watching Egyptian documentaries when I was just a kid and he was there, with his Indian Jones style hat

Was he elected or is it a private position?

His boss is the Minister of Culture, a Farouk Hosni I believe he works for the government of Egypt.

Thanks Father 84. This subject is LONG on predictions and very, very short on evidence.

Oh and

Dr. Sayed Tawfik was Hawass's predecessor but he worked for the Egyptian Antiquities Organization which is what the council was called until 1994 - I think. Zahi became the big cheese in 2002
