I wanna kick Egyptologist az.

Hawass is officially out as two days ago.

I know he is abrasive, but was quite a character. What happened? I hope they don't kill him now. Haha Silly Egyptians rioting and killing people. They so crazy...

There have been a lot of things going on in front of the cameras and behind the scenes. It's tough to say exactly what did him in but he's not as young as he was and there are a lot more knives in the back to dodge. He had no friends in Egyptology and few friends in Egypt other than the higher ups who loved him because of the attention and tourist dollars he brought. It was probably in a large degree his close relationships to the old regime that did him in but in Egypt it's never just one thing and this goes many times over for an individual like Hawass.

He has left a legacy but it will be years until we catch up with the science that hasn't been getting done. I hope things improve and stabilize for the Egyptian people and wish the new antiquity's cheif great success in protecting and discovering Egypt's and man's past. I do have very high hopes.
