Riz Khan - Saving Egypt's antiquities - 12 July 07

[clammy666]

hawass contradicts himself and is a no good turd.on one hand he says that any museum that has anything from egypt that he wants back and that they don't give back will be refused to study in egypt,and yet he says that these artifacts don't belong to egyptians but belong to everyone.my question is if these cities protect and look after these antiquities properly,then why should he care where they are?answer,he makes more money if there in egypt and thats all he's ever been about money and fame

[AnonymousNorwegian]

hawass is reptilian.

[darwinism333]

do present Egyptians have any kind of relationship with the Ancient Ones?

[DELIRIOUS777]

Zahi hawass iznogood

[MedjayCommander]

Its been proven that it was Arabs (who call themselves Egyptians but are invader children) who built their houses over where they thought a tomb were and dug through the floor of their houses into the tombs. One family who was named, has been robbing tombs this way for over 100 years.

[MadCowMindTV]

give me your opinions should artifacts remain where they currently are depending on the fact that they are in a museum, at the dig site, or in their home country?

[567treehugger]

@MadCowMindTV in their home country and in the ground. I mean if you want to look at them for a year or so thats okay but seriously after a while I believe they should remain in peace where they were meant to be.

[EpicLeafNinja]

look at this magic carpet riding genie rubbing arab desecrating the tombs of the kings and queens of Africa this man is a liar and a grave robbing thief Egypt was built by black Africans not arabs or whites STOP WHIT THE LIES AND TELL THE TRUTH

[MegaVladimir1988]

@EpicLeafNinja No you stop with the lies !!! egypt was build by arabs and whites

[truthhitmanisback]

@MegaVladimir1988 RUBBISH ! The video called RACE OF ANCIENT EGYTIANS NOW REVEALED, expose the lie that has been told by 19th and 20th Century racist historians. The scientist who came to this conclusion are white. European civilisation starts with Greece. So GET BACK !!!

[MegaVladimir1988]

@truthhitmanisback Lying monkeys you are !!!!!! if there were any african monkeys in egypt , then they were probably slaves

[truthhitmanisback]

@MegaVladimir1988 The video called ALL NON - AFRICANS LIVING TODAY ARE PART NEANDERTHOL, proves that black people are humans... Plus blacks are not normally hairy... looks like YOU are the monkey !

[MegaVladimir1988]

@truthhitmanisback as long as it is the white monkey lol

[83leaf]

i think the reporter is trying to tell him something lol

[wwrecords2]

What is the difference between a THIEF who diggs up graves and sells to pay for food and HAWASS who diggs up graves and SELLS TICKETS FOR A TOURIST ATTRACTION! NONE!

Now, an ARAB THIEF (Hawass) is arguing with EUROPEAN THIEVES over AFRICAN TREASURES !!!

IS THERE NO HONOR AMONG THIEVES!

I have a question:

Are there any tombs is ARABIA worth digging up!

Are there any ancient tombs in EUROPE worth digging up!

I guess not !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[standforchange08]

The Euros and Arabs ate the mummies. Thats a fact. They thought the bodies would cure certain diseases. Dam Cannobolist.

[standforchange08]

Saving Egypt? Dr hawass wit his fake azz, done chizzled away all of the ancient artirfacts of the ancestors. This man should be imprisoned for disturbing the tombs of the ancients.

[knight160]

Dr.Hawass is considered now an Egyptian icon, he is not only speaking as a great Egyptolgist about Egyptian civilization but as a lover as well, you have to love him with his special English accent, his hat and his pure Egyptian face, you feel the guy as if an Egyptian mummy has came back to life, he is a mummy walking. I love this guy !

[kunsura]

Yes, dumb ass the bloodline is not erased, however, 95 percent of the people are "visual" learners and if they do see that the Irish and Welsh are a part of Celtic Art,then, the people will not believe that the Irish and Welsh were a part of Celtic Art because they want to "SEE" the proof that Irish and Welsh are part of Celtic Art! You should know this...People see, first, then, they believe it!

[Khashubi]

Seriously you're response is just off topic...just accept the fact that your comment was illogical and give it a rest already

[kunsura]

He is an ARAB trying to tell the story of a people he is a not a part of; that is like me, trying to tell the story of China, and I am not Chinese, hmmm?

[Khashubi]

What an ignorant comment? You know you should really do yourself a favor and just shut up because it's obvious you lack the historical knowledge and even the common sense to partake in this discussion. Yes Arabian culture did enter Egypt but it did not wipe out the indigenous nation. The same applies to the Greco-Macedonians and Romans who ruled Egypt for 2000 years before that (longer than the Arabs). The pharaonic lineage was never broken you Ignoramus!

[Khashubi]

The logical conclusion of what you're suggesting is that passage of time negates descent which is just absurd when you're dealing with an entire nation! The pharaonic people didn't just disappear! They mixed with Copts, Arabas, Romans and Persians. So of course we have every right to preserve our cultural property because the pharaonic era defines our cultural identity as Egyptians!

[Khashubi]

The final point I'll make to demonstrate the nonsensical and ludicrous nature of your contention is the perfect legitimacy or Irish and Welsh claims to repatriation of Celtic works of art. The fact that both Ireland and Wales came under English rule did not erase the blood lineage. The same applies to ancient Persia and modern day Iran!

[kems1977]

hey man,u r a shity creature coz this guy is Egyptian,u where r u from ? i believe u have no roots thats why u r complaining about Egypt,go and mess with somebody else

[kunsura]

If these artifacts are so dear to Egypt, why can't they have "tighter" security. Try to "steal" the Queen of England encrusted diamond crown,a nd you will have all of her royal guards rifle rounds, in your " ASS."

[HueyShabazz]

Hawass is racist. He should end the lies. Question For Everyone: I know youve all seen Tuts Golden Death mask. And youve all seen the recreation that NatGeo andHawass created. Why DONT THEY LOOK ALIKE AT ALL. The death mask had thick lips and in no way shape or form was the nose thin. Can some one send me a message and explain this mind boggleing mystery to me.

[akadaka69]

The mask was not for tut.. lol he died quite suddenlly and many beleive that it was intended for another. maybe semenkare. alot of the statuettes in his tomb are not depicting him..

[consono1]

I believe that Zahi Hawass is really passionate about the Egyption antiquities and I agree that they should be returned to the "mother" land.

However ! As sad as it is, I feel they would be safer in other countries as i have seen they way the Egyptions look after these treasures, they dont give a crap about them!! Its a very short sighted vision!!!! Once they are gone, they will be gone forever, and so will Egypt!

[armunaekti1]

thats because they had nothing to do with ancient egypt

if they did it would be treated like it means everything to them

[islamkamelba]

I dont know why do you say saw, and where did you see us misstreat our treasures. but as an Egyptian i can assure you that you are mistaken.

[AndroDevereaux]

So many people in America need to get over themselves and there crazy ideas.Egyptian people have never looked like someone from the western delta of Africa!! The mummies that have been found prove this.Keep up the great job you are doing Hawass!!

[armunaekti1]

do you no what every western african looks like

we are talking about 100's of groups

[acorntechnique]

You've placed an exclamation mark after 'Egyptians' - should we be surprised at the dna results?

is that result not expected?

I believe that result is 'of course' to be expected.

however..

Those ancient sites under his protection 'may' not actually be Egyptian. They may pre-date the Egyptian period by as much as 6000 years.

Given that possibility, no Egyptian government may lay claim to own those structures, they belong to the people of the world and are merely under the 'keepership of Egypt.

[safiabdelkarim]

dna tests don't show something we call "race." race is a social construct that has no biological basis.

[lorettab77]

one thing is certain missy5464 you are beyond ignorance and stupidity, as you have truly no idea of what you speak. Your socalled hero hawass has is no more of an authority on ancient Kemet than your mamma! Do your research if you dare to read the various valid authors, researchers and scholars, starting with Diop and Van Sertima. Each of whom have more knowledge and authority on this subject than the son of hybrida thieves hawass. Got it sweety? Good!

[lorettab77]

Hawass looks like an ashkenaz...

it's not in his biology to be honest... poor thing can't help himself.

Wise people should dismiss this man as he was born mentally and biologically FUCKED UP

[master25]

truly a great man all antiques belong to egypt fucking brits stealing and they call them civillized

[fromheretoglory]

Americans are to be blamed because Iraqui museum was destroyed during raid, They didn't do anything to protect it from looting, although they could,The chief in curator from the museum was begging one of the nearby American officer just to move one battle vechicle in front of the main entrance to the museum because she knew that there are looters around just waiting to enter. He refused to do so by telling her that he dont have such an order from his supervisors and not even asking for it,...

[acorntechnique]

That's very sad indeed.

the American officer in question should have been disciplined for not having heeded the advice of the museum's curator and spoken to his seniors.

But on the bright side the museum is now open and many artefacts have been recovered.

[fromheretoglory]

You're right,... thnx for your comment on that matter,... nice channel you've got,... my best,...

[19676]

zahi hawass,the culture bandit.these antiquities are safer in the places they are currently.under current owners of egypt they will be altered and truth's distorted!

[Decembirth]

Remember when learning about Egyptology was fun?

then this prick shows up and ruins the love of it.

why wont he go away!!

i cant enjoy specials on Egypt, because this jerk shows up in every one of them.

[harrisdurrani]

are you serious!! I love watching Zahi Hawas.. he is amazing.. watch the show

watch?v=eCtBk58unfY

[acorntechnique]

Why have so many people given Decembirth no less than seven thumbs down????

Riz Khan may be the head honcho when it comes to Egyptology and indeed he may be the best man for the job when it comes preserving Egypt's monuments.

However..

When it comes to expounding truth and real facts about many of Egypt's monuments he speaks utter nonsense, as do pretty much ALL Egyptologists.

Riz Khan ignores new science and disregards ALL ideas regarding Egypt's foundation unless they conform to orthodoxy.

[kev2128]

Fuck this Zahi Hawass guy, he is a liar!!

[Jose247]

Give back to the Egyptians what is rightfully theirs!!! Power to Archaeology!

[supermanpaki]

Europeans and americans are thieves of artifacts yet they claim to be very civilized. what a joke

[567treehugger]

@supermanpaki I really hope you realize we are not all like that. You can't blame ALL of us for what our politicians and leaders do.

[jokerjay]

When Nubians ruled Egypt they restored the old values and ruled in the exact way the 'ancients' did....That in itself should tell you that Nubians and Egyptians are historically and culturally intertwined. An idiot can look at a map and know full well that these people are not the 'original' Egyptians. look at the surrounding peoples! The visual differences would mean an impossibly huge human mutation inside only one isolated area...because Ancient Egyptian language and culture is pure African.

[mumbleora]

Here are the unrefutable pictures of caucasions and arabs as zahi has seen. that shows europeand and arab pharoahs. Seeing is believing, right? go to

The Truth From The Tombs Of Egypt Part 3

[tienshanpai]

Considered by many, a multi-genius, and a giant of an intellect.

He was a nuclear physicist, a historian, a linguist, a archeologist, a chemist,

a anthropologist, a mathematician, and master of a few other disciplines He could walk in a room with the top professors in any of these fields and speak on their level, or above. Truly a remarkable human being...Dr.Cheikh Anta Diop....

[mikmik2953]

im glad hawass came out with the truth the ancient egyptians for the most part were caucasoid and not negroid ,negroids do not originate from that part of africa even today there is still whites who who have no ties to europe who originate from africa they are the berbers.i just hope hawass in our politicaly correct time backtracks from his positon to suit a vocal minority

[tienshanpai]

Wrong.Check the facts.Arabs did NOT enter Egypt until Alexander, and that was after all the great dynasties.Maybe you should look at what Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop reveals youtube here. Or better yet,pick up a book son.

[mikmik2953]

diop had been discredited that is why his views are not taught as fact and check out asia it is not inherited that a single race of people inhabit a land mass pick up an atlas and check out the latitude of north africa.population sepration,climate adaptation there is no divinty in this. so because egypt is in africa does not mean ancient egyptian are black just as it does not mean because korea is in asia that they are like syrians who also live in asia

[tienshanpai]

Wrong again.Dr. Diop has proven that even the language is similiar with africans in other areas of the continent. The early pharoahs (not just the later ones who invaded and adopted the culture)are depicted as black. Even the name Kemet means land of the black, or the black land. Pyramids are found in Nubia (is that black enough for you?)The mummies have cornrows, and wigs that are cornrowed. Is that Arab? Stop lying on the truth.

[nz996]

Egypt has a very poor track record protecting their heritage..even now the Giza plateau is strewn with rubbish and modern (relatively) housing discharge sewerage over ancient relief and carvings.

Dr Hawass is a hypocrite and dictator who is pushing his own barrow to seek the spotlight (refer: opening gatenbrinks door - fox). The sooner this man is removed from his position (SCA), the sooner real science can properly investigate egypt's mysteries.

[Rachienich]

Me and my Friend Courtney love this man!! Zahi 4ever!!!! lol xx

[eb0nYr0se]

zahi hawas is not a anthropologist or a biologist..just an archaeologist. i know many egyptians who disagree with him

[eb0nYr0se]

look up ahmed selah

[mousecake]

While I agree that all antiquities need to be returned, I have to wonder how long it takes before some talibanized person(s) destroys it or a billionaire buys it.

[iranian4life5000bc]

british museum Thief liers

why can't they put there own history on display why do they have to steel ours this is when they show there true face

[Lungyao1]

They don't want to show that Egyptians were black.......

[SolAurum]

Nubians were black. Egyptians were brown.

[Lungyao1]

Egyptians drew themselves in the same likness as Nubians (who were black). Think about it...

[delececake]

You really need to study Egyptian history and how the borders have changed throughout the thousands of years. I am married into a Coptic family, we have Nubian friends and friends from all over the country. There is a very large difference between a black person and a dark human. The beauty in the Middle East is that there is no discrimination against color.

[SolAurum]

Alot of egyptian people were depicted as brown, but Nubians were just as much a part of Egypt as Egyptians themselves were.

[delececake]

I never said they were not

[monica24b]

@delececake "The beauty in the Middle East is that there is no discrimination against color."

tell that to refugees who get shot at trying to cross into egypt from sudan..
