Zahi Hawass

slaves built the pyramids because no one bothers to tell us how many tombs were belonging to the paid workers have been found so we don’t know what proportion of the work force were paid workers versus slaves. Documents A,B,E all claim that the pyramids were built by the slaves in Egypt. However, unlike documents A, B, and E documents C and D both claim that paid workers built the pyramids instead of slaves. The format of document C is a news article on Zahi Hawass. Zahi Hawass is an Egyptian archaeologists who spent decades excavating and analyzing areas around the pyramids. He claims that paid workers built the pyramids because there were a series of deep shafts which held dozens of preserved skeletons along with jars of what was once beer and bread. By finding this evidence Hawass is able to back up his theory that the paid workers built the pyramids because why would Egyptians bury slaves so honorably. The format of document D is is an interview with Mark Lehrner. Lehrner is another archaeologist and has worked along Zahi Hawass for several years. He believes that paid workers built the pyramids because when you go to the King’s chamber in the pyramid you come to a block of stone that has the King’s name and some red scrawls all in red paint. The red paint is the gang/crews name. This wouldn’t make sense if they were slaves because Egyptians would not let them put their names on the pyramids. Both documents C and D claim that the pyramids were built by paid workers…

favorite celebrities flaunting their luscious, shiny, long black hair in the Pantene ads, or that one singer batting her perfectly full eyelashes for a Covergirl mascara commercial. Subconsciously people want to be just like the celebrity they idolize, and the buyers purchase that product in hopes that they too will look like their perfect idol through the use of it. Jib Fowles describes the need for guidance as, “…to be protected, shielded, guided.” (142). In National geographic, the need for…

Author John Tierney brings to light that Egypt's secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass is demanding pieces once taken from eygpt be returned. The author states, “Last month, after Dr. Hawass suspended the Louvre’s excavation in Egypt, the museum promptly returned the ancient fresco fragments he sought.” (1). Dr. Hawass demands what is rightfully Egypt’s property and makes sure not one museum takes any other works. He is passionate and believes that works of art…

What exactly caused the death of King Tutankhamun? This question has been asked by many for years. Did archaeologist Zahi Hawass finally answer the mystery of King Tut? Hawass is a world-renowned archaeologist that led the team that performed the CT scan of King Tut and revealed secrets about his family. I believe Hawass thought that the secrets of the past were very important and the people of today deserved to know what mysteries lay with King Tut. As Zahi Hawass once said, “It's very…

Dr. Zahi Hawass said in an interview, “The Rosetta Stone is unique to Egypt and Egypt has the right to have it, and it is the ethical duty of England to return the stone.” (2016). However, an ethical code is not a legally binding document, as is the Treaty of Capitulation. Since the tablet was acquired legally, there should be no moral duress for the stone to be returned. If ethics would be the sole determinant of ownership, both sides would have a valid argument for ownership. However, when…

An Egyptian doctor by the name of Dr. Zahi Hawass said that “Stielin is not a historian. He is delirious”. You can understand the passion behind that statement because in Dr. Hawass mind these foreigners are trying to erase the magnificent work of his ancestors. Art has always been a window for us to consider the past and see the life through their lens. This is a prime example of when Wilson said that folk poetry is “the living voice of the nationalities.” (826). Art and folk poetry are…

In addition Abu Simbel has a second, smaller, temple that may have been built for queen Nefertari. Its front includes two statues of the queen and four of the pharaoh, each about 33 feet (10 meters) in height. Each is set between buttresses carved with hieroglyphs. While the site was built by an Egyptian ruler, and is located within modern-day Egypt, in ancient times the place it was located in was considered part of Nubia, a territory that was at times independent of ancient Egypt. “The…
