Zahi Hawass is famous for his attempts to debunk almost anything. More often than not you'll find him making these assertations against claims that
may not have the most convincing evidence to support them. Fair enough, but you'll also find that he very rarely has good evidence to support his own
debunking.
"That just isn't true."
"Well,
why isn't it true?"
"Because to say so would fly in the face of what has been widely and traditionally accepted for centuries."
Can anyone say, Galileo?
Hawass told the New York Times that he could find no archaeological evidence to support a cataclysm the likes of which could cause the "plagues"
described in the book of Exodus. What happened at Santorini around 1500 B.C.? I know the evidence is limited, and certain things have to be shifted
on occassion, but this is how the truth is found!
Hawass just refuses to accept anything that might make Egypt look bad. I don't even really fault him for this, as it seems to be an Egyptian
trait.
I like how Mohamed Abdel-Maqsou put it when describing Egypt's cataclysms. "A pharaoh drowned and a whole army was killed. This is a crisis for
Egypt, and Egyptians do not document their crises."
) kind of put me off
watching any more of TDC 'event' specials. I feel kind of bad for the researcher who's baby that theory was...must suck to have something you think
you've decided conclusively so totally shot down.
