Now any accusations which include such anti-Jewish propaganda and conspiracy theories are highly suspect.<br /><br />My beef with Pharaoh Hawass is the way he lords it over entire related fields of experts and takes credit for the hard work of other people. The investment of time and money required to succeed in the humanities is substantial and the monetary rewards are few and far between. The best reward of all is recognition from peers and the public. Hawass has been a showboat and shameless self-promoter at the expense of others.<br /><br />Still, that doesn't mean that his detractors should have free rein to slander him without a serious inquiry into the veracity of their claims.Voz Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11345952820382749813noreply@blogger.com
