Well Si-Amon you have a good point there.... If it was possible
yes I would support this idea to reburied them in their tombs.
But I am not the expert in that field but I like the idea

Now I started a new topic that should put this debate in the right
environment :wink:

I hope I'm wording this correctly, and as carefully as I can, and I mean not to offend anyone here who supports Hawass.

That's one thing I find puzzling about forums such as this. Unless Hawass is a relative, why be offended by someone's open critique of a public figure? A lot of expended energy and anger over a simple debate...is it really worth it?

You don't find Hawass to be enthusiastic? I think he's very enthusiastic. And I wouldn't dismiss his credentials too quickly. Though Hawass is a controversial figure, he's been a practicing archaeologist since the late 1960s and a Ph.D. for some twenty years. He's well proven in his field and an expert in the studies of ancient Egypt.

At present, though, I doubt he does much field work anymore. He's no longer a grunt but the leader of the Supreme Council of Antiquities. It's hard to imagine how many responsibilities and pressures he has. I think he's a terrific spokesman for Egypt, and his enthusiasm for his country's heritage is plain to see.

So, anyway, you're definitely going for Egyptology professionally? That's exciting.

Had I the chance to live life over, I think I'd do the same. I take what professional classes I can, especially for the study of hieroglyphs, but I'll never be a professional Egyptologist. I wish you the best. Any schools in mind? Just curious.

Aw, Kmt....*Hugs Kmt* You get a huuug!! :lol:

Anyway, You can live forever...all you have to do is freeze yourself for a period of time, and then wake up in another time period, and if Egypt is still standing in the future, then you can be an Egyptologist as well!! :oops:

I sound like a pathetic dreamer, huh?

But yeah, I plan to go to the University of Tampa here in Florida, cause they have a NEW course on Egyptology!!! I've never been happier. and thanks for wishing me luck, Kmt, I'll need it if I'll be working in Akhetaten!! My mission--to finally prove Tut and Akhenaten are father and son, and have it UNIVERSALLY accepted!! *Poses!!* .... :oops:

I can dream, can't I??!! :lol:

Kmt, just remember, you're never too old to be young!! Look at my dad, for example...he's 40, 6'5'', 250 LBS., and he rides rollar coasters at either Disney or Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure whenever we go!! Actually, it was HE who introduced me to rides, and I'm a rollar coaster tycoon because of him!!

And by the way, I respect Hawass and all, and I never personally said he wasn't enthusiastic...someone else had said it, and I doubted it, because he is dedicated to his work, and he IS admirable....I just hope he's not in it for the money!! THAT'S what I meant to say!!
