Zahi Hawass on "The Great Treasure Delusion"

In case his constant television appearances don't satisfy your all-Zahi-Hawass-all-the-time needs, here he is writing an interesting piece in Al-Sharq al-Awsat's English website on "The Great Treasure Delusion."

Oh, and from drhawass.com, an article with major name-dropping in the lead sentence:
I travelled recently with Omar Sharif to the Dominican Republic by personal invitation of the president, Leonel Fernandez. I was invited to receive an honorary doctorate degree from the Catholic University in Santo Domingo, as well as to give a public lecture.
Like him or hate him, he's one of a kind.
