King Tut artifacts are on view in Times Square, but an Egyptian scholar would rather see them at the Met. (DNAinfo/Tara Kyle)

Hawass = Media Whore.

[cripplecreek]

Is it just me or is Dr Hawass growing increasingly shrill?

[Poison Pill]

"This priceless artifact should be at the Met, not at this hole," Hawass said.

Speaking of holes...

[mikrofon]

"answer the question. Why is King Tut not at the Met?"

Why didn't he try out for American Idol?

[GreenHornet]

He could have won a Grammy.

[a fool in paradise]

Is it art or history?

While it was a “folk” art of sorts, it is a historical artifact. The Who and When outway the craft of the work.

[a fool in paradise]

outweigh, sheesh.

I saw the King Tut exhibition when it was in Seattle in 1978 ... :-)

Here's an article about that tour back then ...

King Tut Tours America

[Larry Lucido]

Well, excuuuusssse me!

Interviewer: “So [the Jewish people] were dispersed in 133 C.E.?”

Zahi Hawass: “That’s right.”

Interviewer: “And they didn’t reunite until 1900?”

Zahi Hawass: “Exactly.”

Interviewer: “So they were dispersed for 18 centuries?”

Zahi Hawass: “For 18 centuries, they were dispersed throughout the world. They went to America and took control of its economy. They have a plan. Although they are few in number, they control the entire world.”

Interviewer: “Dr. Hawass, you are a great historian and archaeologist. I would like to figure out the mystery of how 15 million people, 5 or 6 million of whom do not share this vile Jewish logic… With regard to Israel and Zionism – we are talking about 7 or 8 million. How is it possible that these 7 or 8 million have taken control of the entire world, and have convinced the world of their cause, while we, over one billion Muslims, cannot convince the world of our cause? How would you explain this from a historical perspective?”

Zahi Hawass: “The reason is that they are always united over a single view. They always move together, even if in the wrong direction. We, on the other hand, are divided. If even two Arab countries could be in agreement, our voice would be stronger. Look at the control they have over America and the media.”

Interviewer: “So in your opinion, the secret lies in unity?”

Zahi Hawass: “Yes. It was unity that gave them this power…”

Interviewer: “You mean from a historical perspective?”

Zahi Hawass: “Of course.”

Poor Zahi. First, he has to fight the concept that space aliens built the Pyramids. Now, this Egyptian national science leader from-a-country-that-slaughtered-their-pigs-because-they-thought-pigs-would-bring-on-swine-flu has to spend his precious science guy thinking time worrying about a hole?

[FourPeas]

How did I know before I opened this thread that the “Egyptian Official” would be Hawass?

With all the economics that are involved, payments for the exhibition and guarantees to the Supreme Council," Norman said, "We were unable to satisfy their economic goals and our economic goals."

A portion of the exhibit's proceeds will return to Egypt in support of the ongoing study and preservation of antiquities, and the construction of the Grand Museum of Egypt in Cairo.

So, the answer, Mr. HowAss, is that you got so greedy you priced your exhibition right out of the Met.

[STD]

Please tell Dr. Zahi Hawass that pretty soon Egypt will cease to exist. He'd better find exhibition hall locations for as much of that old Pharoah stuff that he wants to save.

Egypt's gonna blow sky high later this year, or early next. This next Middle East War is going to be a deluge upon his country, Egypt will never be anything more than three huge speedbumps.

If you don't believe me, just ask our Dear Leader who told us all 'ahead of time' about the great Hawaiian earthquake and tsunami. Perhaps, he could give Dr. Zahi Hawass more details about Egypt's coming demise.

After this war, Times Square will be considered a very fine location. Please check it out with your fellow muslim Mr. Barry Soetero first?

[Cincinna]

Thanks, Civ.

We will go anyway, even though the exhibit is in a trashy “hole”.

FWIW, the Met, which is a private institution, has already hosted a King Tut Expo, and it was a huge success. The Met does not have the financial, security or other resources to handle the expected huge crowds.

I’m pleased that the treasures are coming to NY again, and I would encourage everyone to go and see them. It is the chance of a lifetime.

Even given the fact that the Egyptian government has deigned to allow us lowly and Israel supporting Americans to pay for this Exposition, I still say EFF the Egyptians.

[wildbill]

If Hawass didn’t know where he exhibit was going to be house via the negotiations, then he is inexcusably ignorant, inattentive to detail, or incompetent.

If he did know in advance, he is not being truthful in order to protect his own butt.

Of course, all of this presupposes that the venue is a “hole” and not suitable for the display.

[KamperKen]

I’m sorry, but every time Egypt’s number one corruptocrat decides to hog the headlines, it reminds me of this:

Zawi Hawass is Egyptology’s equivalent.
