Zahi Hawass and the Sphinx at Giza
Hawass has ulterior nationalistic/political reasons for his comments, however, why has NYC let an ancient monument of much historic value deteriorate to such a state? Hawass can go take a hike and has no rights here in America to do diddly squat, however, he has at least brought to our attention something that should be rectified, cleaning up and repairing the obelisk to good order. Maintaining the obelisk is not mutually exclusive w/telling this jerk to buzz off. And to those of you who have no sense of history and don’t give a fig about this obelisk w/its heiroglyphics from ancient times, then I guess you don’t give a fig about the history and maintenance of our original Constitution. History is very, very important and should not be denigrated.
