Egypt
Here is another of Dr. Zahi Hawass' "Dig Days" though the dig here appears to be about English bureaucracy mistreating the fine doctor. Hey to Dr. Hawass bureaucracy sucks just ask the people of Qurna or those former residents in the way of the avenue of rams.
Dr Hawass says "I think this means they treat all of us like suspected terrorists." There is that chip on his shoulders again and no doubt Dr. Hawass went into this Embassy carrying it along with his exalted status as Egypt's vice minister of culture.
Disturbing is the use of a phrase like "all of us" coming from a man who fashions himself to be an ambassador for Egypt and its heritage. Certainly Dr. Hawass should have acted better and shown more respect for the English Embassy and his position as a representative of Egypt.

- Dr. Hawass Has Nothing To Explain
Dr. Zahi Hawass explains himself over criticism that he has been receiving but to a degree I still think Dr. Hawass probably is missing the point. As I am an avid reader and have read numerous articles and many of Dr. Hawass' books I can tell you...
