Hawass is merely doing what you would do under the same circumstances, being put in the same situation. Consider him to be in the same company as the US president and other world leaders as the front line defense of reality(what is really going on, here on Earth).

We think they have reached the top, but they find them selves at the bottom. They have to do what they are ordered to do.

So...if China takes an interest in the burgeoning democratic movement, and decides that its masses are entitled to originals of the Declaration of Independence and...oh, the Magna Carta, they have the right to grab them?

Just askin'....

Hawass may seem to portray a 'dignified' approach to 'Egypt's this-that-and-the-other...

but truth be known he's a profiteer that will - like he has done in the past - research the most profitable method of disclosure.

Basically it's a three ring circus with your histories in tow.

If these videos of the robot inspection have not been posted yet, here they

The German version by the engineer Gantenbrink has the better quality.

Where I doubt that these documents could be considered truly historical, since they belong to such a young nation, I understand where you are going, though. I probably would have used examples of Indigenous American artifacts, though many people are ignorant enough to say that they should be on display for all to see against the will of the protective societies for theses as well.

It is my belief that no culture should be forced to share its historical information with another, though I do believe that in order for us to understand the past cultures of the world it should be encouraged. To know ones past helps to understand ones present and helps them to prepare for the future.

At the same time I also understand the parts where some are apposed to sharing their history, some believe it is a violation of the rights of the dead (very understandable), some believe outsiders of their culture will not fully understand the history and may misrepresent their history, others might be afraid of theft of historical items that are borrowed for use in museums, and these are only a few of the good reasons for not sharing their history.

As you can see I am torn, because as someone who loves information about past cultures and societies, I also would hate for information to be mistakenly misrepresented, stolen or even lost, due to the sharing of such information.

This goes for the British Museum curator responsible for the STOLEN Greek antiquities (the Parthenon Marbles) as well? Or is he, being British, ENTITLED to present other peoples' heritage and benefit by it without asking for permission? And don't even go back and say "but lord Elgin ASKED before butchering the Parthenon" - WHO did he ask?? Those that didn't build the Parthenon? Those whose culture was so "removed" from the one that did build the Parthenon? Those who, in later days (1910 and onwards) have made only one significant addition to the world's "heritage"; genocides (Armenians, Pontic Greeks, Kurds!)?

Yes, I am mad! There is not the slightest "reason" other than greed at this point for the Parthenon Marbles to not be where they belong! If Hawass can "strip" all museums outside Egypt of their Egyptian antiquities (that were stolen or not expressly GIVEN by Egyptian authorities) I hope he does. And then, if our "enlightened" government has a pea of a brain, they SHOULD call on him to do the same for Greek antiquities - if he wants to
