Hawass Suggests Hidden Khufu Tomb

After years of condemning alternative views for the many mysteries at Giza and blocking various research efforts, Egyption Antiquities' little Napolean Zahi Hawass is now suggesting that the infamous "doors" in the Great Pyramid may very well hide Khufu's tomb.

Why the change in views? Because no discovery is allowed on the Giza Plateau that Hawass did not make himself. He recognizes the international attention on the Great Pyramid and this is his chance to once again lead an expedition.

At least this shameless ego-maniac is consistent. While Maximus does not believe that Khufu's tomb is hidden at the Great Pyramid - in large part because I don't believe the primary purpose of the Giza Pyramids were necessarily tombs - at least long blocked explorations will finally commence, even if under Hawass's control and secrecy.

If ever there was a reason to seize Egypt, this is it.
