Though Hawass must have made a few enemies in his time i could not help thinking at the time that this mans apparent hatred of Hawass was a bit over the top and i wondered what was really behind it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760875.post-70823457433759058672011-08-19T21:04:35.430+01:002011-08-19T21:04:35.430+01:00Anonymous #2 - That doesn't narrow it down muc...Anonymous #2 - That doesn't narrow it down much! I daresay that there was more than one bloke. However, I'm guessing that you are referring to Mohamed Abdel Fatah el-Banna, the conservationist who was given, oh-so-briefly, the position of Minister for Antiquities. He led various campaigns against Hawass, and once, apparently, led a protest against Mark Lehner at Giza, accusing him of hiding or smuggling antiquities. In spite of the very close similarity of the names I don't know if they are the same person. Sorry! I'll post more details as soon as I find out.Andiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342690442454499340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760875.post-28881150586827611862011-08-19T19:51:33.046+01:002011-08-19T19:51:33.046+01:00Am i right in thinking that the new guy Fatah is t...Am i right in thinking that the new guy Fatah is the bloke who hates Hawass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760875.post-82997291087892426082011-08-19T14:19:28.514+01:002011-08-19T14:19:28.514+01:00Shucks.
