Dr. Zahi Hawass, the Last Great Pharaoh of Egypt, is gracing us with his presence on March 10 when he will arrive in Washington, DC. to retrieve *gasp* another stolen artifact.
A gorgeous 3,000 year old coffin was discovered by customs agents as it was being smuggled into Florida a few years ago. Why they've had it for so long, who knows? What we do know is that Dr. Hawass has successfully retrieved OVER 5,000 artifacts from foreign countries in only the past 8 years! This is his calling. Unless you have an artifact on loan from Egypt, it was probably "stolen" in colonial or earlier times and The Pharaoh wants it back.
We love this about him. Racist prick as he is, he LOVES LOVES LOVES his country with a passion, as we've said before, that would pale the Third Reich.
Despite rumours that Zahi himself WAS around during the colonial days, sadly it wasn't so and most of the artifacts from those days are sitting in museums around the world.
Advice to world museums, HIDE YOUR EGYPTIAN SHIT, give it back or face the Wrath of the Pharaoh Hawass!

UPDATE:
Although arriving in Washington on March 10th, Dr. Hawass, internationally known Egyptologist and Vice Minister of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, will be lecturing in San Fransisco on March 8th. Get your tickets now for a measly $15 each. What a bargain to be in the same room as him!
"Many people make the mistake of thinking that dreams cannot come true, but they can. You have to believe, and know that they are more than just imagination."
— Zahi Hawass
Who knew how inspirational he could be? We wonder if he means the Jews too?
