"You must listen to me!"
Once again, the Great Dr. Hawass has spoken. Today he confirmed that the Tomb of King Tut An Khamun will FOREVER be closed to the public.
He has a replica under construction in the Valley Of Kings, as we speak. We can't fault him on this one. Honestly, people are ruining the tomb. This issue has been hotly debated for years. Money vs. preservation. The tourist industry runs Egypt and no one wants to tell people the tombs are closed.
Hawass is sinking A TON of Egypt's money into building a replica museum that will display not only "King Tut" but also his relatives and in the future - Pharaohs Seti and Rameses too.
"Pharaoh tombs hidden in desert canyons west of the Nile were never meant to be inspected. They were built as graveyards for eternity, not tourist traps attracting up to 6000 people a day."
"There's no alternative," Dr Hawass tells doubters. "Closing the tombs is the only way to preserve them."
The Last Great Pharaoh, also known as Dr. Hawass, is taking a lot of flak for this. People are bitching that they will not fly all the way to Egypt to stare at a fake. These people are losers. The REAL tombs are ancient and history needs to be protected at ALL COSTS. There is no way to preserve Tut's tomb the way it is. We must replicate it if people want to see it at all. Hawass is at least offering us this.
Go, Dr. Hawass. You are an arrogant, argumentative, racist, son-of-a-bitch and we sort of love you anyway.
