As for Hawass, I feel that he is not acting in the best interests of science and history when he makes the statements he does about Egyptian artifacts and sites that we have located. As a man of science, who heads an organization that is supposedly devoted to science and to the ancient history of his nation, he has a responsibility to seek the truth in its entirety. This is a situation where national pride is at stake unfortunately, which makes his already questionable actions even more controversial when you consider the motivations that may be behind his judgment.

Once again, whether or not he is acting improperly is irrelevant, as his actions and words have served to foster the perception that all is not what it seems. He certainly doesn't help his cause when he makes statements declaring DNA testing to be unreliable and safe testing with passive seismographs to be too damaging.

Perception is why we debate everything on ATS, after all. We don't need to be the experts to make observations. And when those observations don't jive with the establishment's story, then there certainly is the perception that something is wrong with the established viewpoint.

Just for the record, I feel that Hawass is not alone in the behavior I have characterized him with. Too many historians and scientists would prefer to stick to the status quo, whether it fits all the facts or not, than actually look for the truth.

Whether or not they are all being coerced into giving stories that don't seem to make sense when you look at the big picture, I cannot say. I'd just like to know how people who are the so-called experts in their field can't see the possibilities that someone looking in from the outside can. When a new observation is made that conflicts with the established theory, that observation is generally denounced as foolishness, without so much as an honestly open-minded view of the findings, in context with other "established" findings.

This really worries me. I've heard several stories about Middle Eastern Archaeological problems. The first time was when I read an account by a man named "Ron Wyatt," who claimed Mt. Sinai was actually Mt. Jebel Al Lawz in Saudi Arabia and not what is today considered Mt. Sinai (which was declared to be Mt. Sinai by Constantine's mother and not by jewish tradition!). He had the Saudis very interested in the discovery until the implications hit home. To read his story see here:

The next story I heard related to the white limestone casings of the stones of the Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) at the Giza, Plateau. They held symbol inscriptions that were not of any recorded egyptian origin. Apparently, an earthquake hit Cairo and levelled several important structures but the pyramids remained standing other than a fractured white limestone casing. This gave them a brilliant idea (doh). The white limestone casings were stripped and used to rebuild the mosques and other important structures of Cairo, so we will never know what language was transcribed in those stones or what it said.

The next story is concerning Caliph Omar, who supposedly ordered the scrolls of the Library at Alexandria to be burned to heat the public baths, saying ""they will either contradict the Koran, in which case they are heresy, or they will agree with it, so they are superfluous."

The next is in regards to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This one will just flip you out: www.jcpa.org...

And of course, let's not forget the destruction of 2000 year old Buddhas in Afghanistan by the fundamentalist islamic group named the Taliban. What the freak are these people thinking? I'm a fundamentalist christian but even I can see the difference between common sense and fanaticism of that caliber. www.rawa.fancymarketing.net...

Anyway, my faith is not so small that learning of life on other planets or advanced civlizations on earth before homosapians would shake that faith. I have no problem at all with such a concept. It worries me that some civilizations would find a problem with the revelation of such things. Why? It doesn't change God one iota. It doesn't change God's power one iota. In fact, it serves to remind us of the greatness of His creations and therefore the greatness of Him (I say "Him" but in reality, I don't think "He" has a "gender").
