From Dr. Hawass.com

"Today at the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) offices in Zamalek, Francisco Lara, Vice President of La Asociación Plataforma Para El Fomento de Los Oficios Artisticos (APFOA) presented Dr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of SCA, with their Personality of the Year Award. Hawass received a beautiful original bronze statue of Don Quixote and a certificate in recognition of his efforts to preserve Egypt’s cultural and archaeological heritage.

Hawass was chosen by the APFOA because he has brought the wonders of Egypt’s heritage to the world through his amazing discoveries and major restoration projects that he has carried out at several monuments.

Lara said that among the most important restoration projects completed by Hawass are the Hibis temple in Kharga Oasis, and the Serapeum and Djoser’s Step Pyramid at Saqqara.

Hawass was delighted by the prize and remarked that it highlights the relationship between Egypt and Spain, particularly in the field of archaeology. There are two Spanish expeditions currently working in Egypt: the first one is excavating at the noblemen’s tombs on Luxor’s west bank and the other is excavating and restoring the site of Al-Bahnasa in Middle Egypt. Hawass also said that exchanging junior restorers between both countries is an important form of cooperation because it allows young Egyptians to be trained in the latest restoration techniques.

Hawass previously received the Medal of the Spanish Order of Arts and Culture from Spain in recognition of his contributions to world culture and his warm relationship with Spain. He was also chosen as a recipient of the Egyptian Pioneer Award from the Spanish Egyptological Society. The award was presented to the five most influential Egyptian “pioneers” and included Umm Kalthoum, Omar Sherif, Ahmed Zuweil and Naguib Mahfouz."

Congrats..? No. This guy needs another award like we need a hole in our head. He's already the world's leading narcissist. Make it stop!
