US President Barack Obama tours the Pyramids with Zahi Hawass

[BryanLeeDennis]

@cincyblows Haha, and the internet too... WE ALL KNOW IT WAS THE ALIENS WHO CREATED THEM BOTH.

[Mgirl81]

ZOMG MY TWO FAVORITE PEOPLE. 8D ZAHI HAWASS AND OBAMA 8DDDDD -faints-

[lamerical]

so whats the point of this video?

[AshleySt0889]

Damn, my prez was there two weeks before I was! Would've been cool to see him there :)

[warriorbysword2]

I have an interesting theory. What if ancient astronauts really existed and they told their children to preserve their bodies so they can be brought back to life. It is well known that these temples have instructions on what to do when they come back to life. I believe they knew about dna and cloning. What other sense does it make? Very good video, and it is a shame obama has to concern himself with those matters. Conspiracy theorists had a field day with this i bet.

[narucraze1]

Zahi hawas is a hero to the western world because his bent on de-africanisation of Ancient Egypt that his predecessor don't agree with.

[AvalonFaerie]

Dear Mr. Obama, chewing gum? Is that necessary?

[cutie13124]

DR.ZAHI IS A GENIOUS!

i saw "King Tut Unwrapped" on the discovery channel it was amazing.

[gravity257]

Zahi Hawass is bad ass!

[RaP4LiFe001]

i read this book in English. i JUST finished it today. it was pretty interesting! if you like ancient stuff and history and into Egypt and stuff, go to ur local library or any bookstore and buy "The Curse Of The Pharaohs" by Zahi Hawass. its REALLY good and i recommend it to all! :)

[jjay3200]

[bluehorse888]

[VideoDocR]

Guys I visited the pyramids, and I can tell you, under the heat of the sun, the security guys in those black suits, ties, and formal shoes, I can tell you for sure that they had a veryyyyyyy hard time looooooool,,, they should have changed before coming. I feel sorry for them.

[tamertarek]

It's in our blood! :)

[miykaelparrish]

welcome back home Obama welcome home !Hotep to Amen

[tamertarek]

I appreciate it if you keep that for yourself. Egyptians don't really like alternative history.

It can be really offending!

[lokumshilova]

What a great moment for both of them ! Would have like to be the one who is holding the camera :)

[hamoudi508]

Nicolo, this is me, Mohamed Yehia! Good Job man... All the best and best regards from Vienna

Old Zahi....

He should have gotten a tour with John Anthony West, now that would have been real history in the making!!!!!!!!!!

[Auggie56]

Ann President Bush spent most of his presidency working. This guy however has party night at the White House on Wednesdays. Lavish menus and entertainment. After he's done slamming the US on this tour, he's going to Paris where he's to meet his family for a vacation. Vacation ? I have to put in twelve months to get mine. My point is while the American suffer the worst unemployment in twenty five years, houses going foreclosed and unemployment running out for some.

[VideoDocR]

I could remember Bush having vacations for months during his presidency celebrating in his farm in texas.

[Yowzoe]

Not only did Bush slack during his sad, disastrous eight-year nightmare, he also left any real decisions to the Dick Cheney and his pal the completely discredited Rumsfeld.

Anyone who thinks for a moment that Bush worked harder or smarter than our current president is severely clueless -- like Bush himself.

[jjay3200]

yes so true

[Robertjcksn40]

@VideoDocR Yah just think Obama has had probably double the amount of vacations Bush had in his first term!

[Arcangelo]

That is such a crock.

If you would check your facts, you would discover that President Bush took 149 trips to Camp David - almost 500 days of his presidency were there. And then add that to the more than 70 trips he took to his family ranch in Crawford. Yes, more than 70. Yup...that's almost 10 trips to TX a year.

Oh his 8 year term of office, he spent more than 2 years of it at Camp David or Crawford.

2 years vacation out of 8.

[researchsiempre]

@Arcangelo Camp David trips are considered a working vacations. Obama hasn't worked since he was inaugurated--he does love the golf course though.

[Arcangelo]

And if you paid any attention to the facts, you would also discover that both Obamas are advocates of healthy food consumption, and in fact retained President Bush's White House Executive chef in part because her experience with organic foods.

[IrisMG]

Neat! What a thrill for that man. The only President to ever go inside the Pyramid? That's almost unbelieveable, but once again, our President is history-making. Wish he could have taken the girls, that's their history, too. Wonder what he brought back for hem as a souvenir?

The president has to learn, though, you don't wear black in that kind of heat. I live in Oklahoma, and even I know that with our temperatures!

[chitownzfinesthustla]

@IrisMG what do u mean their history too?

[Auggie56]

Point being President Bush worked his whole presidency through. This guy has party night on Wednesday. Expensive meals and a packed ball room. He's on his way to Paris after this to meet his family. This is costing us, the US tax payer at a time when unemployment is almost ten percent. I could say more but you get the message.

[Auggie56]

Obama sure has a lot of time on his hands.

[scottheritage]

Great video - shame you didn't get the camel shot. Maybe next time put a camel in the pyramid where the press can't see?!

[andrewsongs]

FANTASTIC!! Great video and great experience. Bravo Zahi!

Best Regards,

Andrew

[hereticking1]

Interesting video - nicely shot. Let's hope that these meetings help repair some of the damage done to US relations with the Islamic world.

[bagsmasher]

This is cool, what a great experience for Obama to meet Zahi Hawass.
