This guy may be making this up or exaggerating claims, as others here suggest. But does it seem odd to anyone that Zahi Hawass can simply dismiss the claims outright with the bizarre statement that "There are no new discoveries to be made at Giza. We know everything about the plateau." There is nothing left to be learned? Really? As the head of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, Hawass has turned Egyptology into a one-man show. If you watch any television coverage of a new discovery related to ancient Egypt, it's Hawass who gets the interview and Hawass who takes credit. Nowhere is there mention of the other people who work at the digs, do the research, or interpret the results. Maybe Hawass gets so much attention because reporters are lazy and don't try to contact anyone else for an opinion (as opposed to Hawass insisting on being the only spokesperson.) But the real danger is that Hawass's domination of the field may be holding back other interpretations -- and insights.
