Hawass is the head archaeologist for the entire country of Egypt. He didn;t get to his position by casting astrology charts, He's a political
survivor constantly in the hot seat. Tourism involving the pyramids, etc. is THE economy in Egypt. They have a vested interest to keep things as calm
as possible, including protecting tourists from extremists. Egypt places armed guards on all tour busses and houses tourists in hotels with a secure
perimeter. I was just there a few days ago. I toured the sphinx, the Great Pyramid, and was all over the Siani. Awesome place,
Hawass has a role to play and he has little patience for the woo-woo crowd. He's a mainstream archaeologist who goes by the established paradigms. If
he started talking about UFOs he would be out of his job in a heartbeat. I see no compelling evidence that Hawass has "lied." All you've done is
read a few books that claim so, so you've taken that position. I might suggest that if you actually made the effort to study Egyptology with some
academic rigir you would fine that mainstream Egyptology has quite a lot of evidence on which to base its claims where the fringe elements have little
but speculation..
