[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by King_Scorpion: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Achillobator: [qb] What I cannot comprehend is that, if Zahi Hawass is so upset over what he perceives as a phenotypical misrepresentation of the Ancient Egyptians, why can't he just say so, instead of resorting to these underhanded tactics? It's not as if the media would ignore him or go against him if he openly railed against these portrayals---if anything, most would show sympathy towards him, since he [i]is[/i] an Egyptian, after all. BTW, this guy looks awesome: [IMG]http://wysinger.homestead.com/zann.jpg[/IMG] He's awfully handsome for a probable villain, actually. I wonder if he will develop a relationship with any of the major female characters? Oh, and the Akhesa chick looks [b]hot[/b] for a piece of cel animation. You cannot go wrong with a black chick in Ancient Egyptian garb. Now all they need to do is make a live-action version... [/qb][/QUOTE]Easy...blatant racism is looked down upon by the West now (the people he's appealing to, white Westerners...no offense). His educated opinions and career would be questioned if people thought he was some ethnic supremist. So he's forced to resort to these underhanded tactics to appear as if he's against it for another reason. When in reality, everyone knows why he got Fletcher banned and everyone knows why he's against this film. It's sort of like the "don't ask, don't tell" thing. Everyone knows, but everyone doesn't know. [/qb][/QUOTE]Lol! So true. In fact, I would say that it is his JOB to lie. So much of Egyptology and Egypt's artifacts are under the control of foreigners that even Hawass and the so-called Egyptian run antiquities service are actually on the payroll of foreign institutions. European institutions finance most of the major digs. European archaeologists do most of the digging. European institutions do most of the publishing. European institutions are financing the new DNA lab. All of which makes Hawass and other Egyptian nationals mere figureheads and front men for a still largely European controlled institution. Therefore, they will continue to b used for propaganda purposes by these same institutions. It is sad really, when MOST of your countries history is in FOREIGN hands and they dont want to even LOAN your own stuff back to you, as if you DONT have a right to it. All this after hundreds of years of OUTRIGHT THEFT of antiquities from Egypt, with nothing more than a "gentleman's agreement" with some NON EGYPTIAN ruling elites, that supposedly made it all fair and square. It is all totally and absolutely ridiculous. In other words, it is only "FAIR" for the Europeans to have it for THEIR OWN EUROCENTRIC research, as Egypt is certainly not European in ANY sense, but to legitimize this Eurocentric approach, they need front men to make it all seem legit...... In other words, Hawass and company, paid spokesmen for the European Disney Egypt. [/QB][/QUOTE]
