Dr. Hawass and the Sphinx are Sad
Dr. Hawass thinks that the Sphinx is sad over the recent and unfinished Egyptian revolution and calls for the protesters to go home even though the protesters main demand has not been met. The article is a good overview of how events have occurred.
Unlike Dr. Hawass and the sphinx I myself feel it is a glorious day for the Egyptian people and will be even more glorious the day Dr. Hawass gets a new boss!
