When they removed the sarcophagus it was covered in nuts and chocolate which could mean they’ve found Pharaoh Rocher.

I've got mixed feelings on this. I was the guest of a few people there, and while with them, my experience was absolutely stellar. However, prior to my linking up with them, I decided to visit the pyramids on my own, which was not positive. Everyone there is 'in on it', and I was frustrated.

I also visited Luxor while there, and I have to say I'll remember that for the rest of my life as an amazing 'once-in-a-lifetime' experience. I had amazing hosts and guides for the duration of my stay.

If you find the right people, it can be great.

As an Egyptian, I think you're giving the Egyptian government far too much credit.

Is Cairo worse than somewhere like Abydos? I’ve always wanted to see that temple

Is there any discovery, finding, revolutionary whatever happeing w/o the famous, one and only, Mr. Egypt himself "Zahi Hawass” is somehow engaged? Its almost suspicious, like I am expecting that all these sensational things discovered one day will be disclosed to all be a made up scam. Not saying they are, but it just feels shady that whenever there is a report, documentary, news article about historic Egyptian findings, this one name "Zahi Hawass” pop up. Its like one and only one director wins all Oscars over the course of 10 years. I mean …. how?

He is known to have a very domineering personality, and has previously held high positions in both the Supreme Council of Antiquities and then created Ministry of Antiquities. He's involved in everything in part because everything has had to go through him (or through the very small group he was a part of)

The things he has discovered or worked on are not fake. However, it is extremely hard for other people to independently publish or research things without his involvement. There has been criticism of this, though at the same time, others have said that his way of handling things has pushed for higher levels of quality VS what used to be there.

But he always wears an Indiana Jones hat, so he must be a good guy, right? /s

I dunno, Martinez seems to be- and Hawass is fairly ate up about it, if certain rumors are true.

Archeologists have been going absolutely wild the last year. Next they'll find Jesus alive and well.

Whoa there, Reuters, slow down. "Mummy"? What is this, 2022? We call them "Mummified Persons" now.
