We all know that photography is prohibited in the Egyptian museum , we all know that you have to get a permission from the ministry of antiquities and that permission must be granted for good reason like of for instance a report in the National geographic magazine not for a fashion report in Vogue for instance !!
We also know that using your official position especially in time of Mubarak for your own profit is against the law and that the public prosecutor must interrogate you now because of this.
I had to start with these facts to make it clear for everybody. Now Dr. Zahi Hawas turned to have a little project which he is going to launch this spring in cooperation with Art Zulu company , this little project is menswear line called “Zahi Hawass”. We should have seen this coming when he started selling his own Fedora. “Actually it is not his fedora , it is Indiana Jones’ anyhow !!”
Now I have got no problem with what Dr. Hawas does or did in his spare time as long as it is not illegal or contradicts “contradicted” with his official responsibilities. This is why I have got a huge problem with what we have discovered online by accident
It seems that the the first photo shoot for this uncreative menswear “nothing new in it to be fair from style of anything” took place at King Tut exhibit at New York last year !!! We know this from the photographer’s blog , of course it is worth to mention that the photographer has removed the post today for some unknown reason !! If there is nothing wrong , I would suppose that he would have left the post !! Anyhow thank God for the caching services online , here is the website in Google’s cache and also Webcite. Here is also screencap I took for the blog post.
First of all even if it was not at the Egyptian museum in Cairo it is still a disaster because King Tut’s treasures were being used as accessories for some silly photo shoot !!! Who gave Dr. Zahi the right to use our artifacts for his own profit in this way !!?
For God sake one of the models seated on what it seems a real golden chair from King Tut’s collection !! I wish that this would be fake replica not the original one !!" Updated : It is replica according to James Weber the photographer who took this photo shoot at the comment section"
Dr. Zahi is back in his position as minister after promising that he would not accept the ministry again. Egyptian archeologists and intellectuals were astonished with that appointment again with all the criticism and accusation surrounding him starting from big ego to neglect to the dangerous accusation of smuggling artifacts whether from the ancient Egyptian era to the Mohamed Ali Family era outside the country !!!
Of course this besides the dangerous accusations of Dr. Nour Abdel Samad that Suzanne Mubarak , Zakaria Azmi and him were accomplices in selling our monuments. Forget about his accusation to the National geographic society but the thing is that I have always heard from different sources that Alaa Mubarak “not his mom” was involved in selling our monuments and that assassination attempt he survived in 2003 at the North coast was because of this. “Oh Yes I remember this attempt in 2003”
Back to Dr. Hawas , the man is insisting of provoking the public as far as I see , last week I found him saying that the horn of King Tut was the one that ignited the revolution !!!!!!!!! Oh yes he claimed that archeologists believe that King Tut’s horn has a special power as one archeologist blew it before one week of the six days war “we were defeated in this war” and another archeologist blew it before the Gulf war 2 “it was not our war !!”. Now before the revolution by one an archeologist blew it and voila we got a revolution !!!!!!!!! Ok I have one question “Why the hell do archeologists blow God damn 2000 BC horn in the first place !!? “
For those interested here is a database for the archeological areas that were looted since the early days of the revolution.
Photos by James Weber whom really I envy for taking such opportunity , I am an Egyptian and I know that I will not have the opportunity to take photos for such treasures.
