Pointing Fingers

Here is another Dig Days article from Dr. Zahi Hawass about amateur Egyptologists and though much of what the fine doctor says is true he also points to his discovery of the mummy of Hatshepsut and points out that discovery channel made mistakes in its presentation of his discovery.

Dr. Hawass however still has never had that discovery properly verified by an independent team, there is some doubt as the tooth in question should have three roots not two and the folks at discovery did not put a nineteenth dynasty mummy of unknown woman "D" into that show and represent it as an eighteenth dynasty mummy of unknown woman "B".

Dr. Hawass is the Captain on this ship and ultimately must accept these mistakes as his own and not properly verifying his discoveries is not professional but Dr. Hawass is right when he says we need to treat each other with respect.
