Zahi Hawass, chairman of the Supreme Council of Antiquities.
Supreme?? lol.
They must have forgotten King Tut put a curse on anyone disturbing him and his stuff.
What a loss. What is it with Muslums and destruction.
Afghanistan Muslums destroyed statues of Budda that were over 1,000 yrs old. Caves, dwellings - the loss to the people of Afghanistan is unknowable. If Afghanistan could collectively pull their head from their backsides - the tourism industry alone would stagger their current Gross National Product.
Now Egypt - it’s like a group of children without adult supervision.
Oh No!
Not the MUMMIES!
What Country is going to be the first to bring back the Guillotine?
That’s a place where tanks should be placed and where shoot to kill orders should be given. Degenerate scum. In Iraq they did the same and over the many years and months you’s read a story of people trying to smuggle them to private investors.
Like that slimey pos Emanuel says, “never let a XXXX go to waste”.
Great time to loot antiquities or something in Egypt.
Maybe knock off a bank or something.
God, please destroy this evil Muslim filth.
A preview of what to expect if and when the Ikhwan takes over. Afghanistan was and is a nearly empty cultural backwater, but Egypt is not.
These creatures will definitely dynamite the Sphinx and the Luxor statues, and probably the pyramids as well.
I dunno, but it calls to mind all those photographs of "minorities" looting stores of whatever they could find, including life's necessities like HD TV sets, appliances and cases of alcohol, during Hurricane Katrina. Who knows what goes through the minds of idiots?
For example, when Hoving was meeting with officials of the Egyptian Museum in the late 1970s to select pieces for the Tutankhamun show, there was no electricity in the museum. None. Not a volt. Not an outlet. Not a wire. And yet the museum held most of the King Tutankhamun treasures discovered by Howard Carter and Lord Carvarvon.
Several million dollars to renovate the museum and install electricity had been given by the Met some twenty or thirty years earlier as part of a complicated purchase arrangement, but the museum's directors and the Supreme Council of Antiquities had not yet decided on a plan of renovation. After all, they'd only had twenty or thirty years. Why rush the decision?
Incidentally, to photograph the pieces for the Met's Tut catalog, the Met 'borrowed' a few hundred feet of electrical cable from the Giza pyramid lighting show, tapped directly into the electrical lines in the street outside the Egyptian Museum, ran the line through a broken window on the second floor of the museum, and set up a temporary photographic studio. The Met also ran a temporary line to the museum director's office so that he had a desk lamp during the period the Met was shooting photos for the Tut exhibit catalog.
*Title Only*
Freaking barbarians!! That is what happened to the Library of Alexandria...........not to mention so many other critical historical documents/landmarks that have been destroyed through the ages. War is hell but to target critical items that have documented human history...well it shows what type of animals are usually involved in these types of wars/conflicts.
Well, here's hoping they got all of the x-rays, photos, etc of the mummies before they were destroyed. Shame.
“...how does the wanton destruction of priceless antiquities, artifacts of ancient civilization further the cause of freedom,”
Ancient Egyptians were NOT arabs. Nor were they a muslim swarm. The swarm is like locusts. They destroy everything they touch and leave devastation in their wake. When there is nothing left for them to devour, they will devour themselves. Such is the nature of islam.
Nor do they want freedom as we think of it. What they want is to destroy freedom utterly and by force, if necessary, bring about subservience to their insane religion. Otherwise it is submit or die.
So much for the Fox Newsettes’ dewy-eyed reporting on the “peaceful striving for freedom.” Fox has been just horrible with some of these reports. You’d think it was the “summer of love” with putting flowers in hair and singing kumbayah or something.
Is this the same Egyptian Museum that asked Germany to return the bust of Nefertiti?
Yeah, thought so.
I would question blaming the looters since there re reports of the government sending out riot police in plain clothes to cause mayhem to blame on the protestors.
What an absolute shame.
