The guy is a tool and an embarrassment as an archeologist. A self centered fool of a man, with a megalomania complex. All he cares about is stuffing his pockets and his ego with Discovery/NatGeo/BBC/History channel money and attention. He's ignorant, paranoid, and dead set on proving that modern Egyptians are descendants of the Great Pharaohs due to his self-admitted insecurity of being labeled "arab" or "muslim", as if there was something wrong with that.
He has set back Egyptology more than any tomb robber ever has.![]()
Do you wanna know how I really feel?

Zahi Hawass is the guy you are thinking of. (the one who wont let anyone do proper research). I am not sure why, but everything I have read about him seems to say that he doesnt actually want westerners discovering egypts secrets. Or something to that effect. But I am no egyptologist, just interested.
