It makes the heart to tremble when you open an undiscovered tomb.
From Zahi Hawass
The sphinx will always have to be looked after.
When we find something new at Giza, we announce it to the world. The Sphinx and the Pyramids are world treasures. We are the guardian's of these treasures, but they belong to the world.
It's very important to reveal the mystery of the pyramid. Science in archaeology is very important. People all over the world are waiting to solve this mystery.
As scientists, we keep an open mind, but we have to base our ideas about the past on archaeological evidence.
I found in one of the tombs an inscription saying, 'If you touch my tomb, you will be eaten by a crocodile and hippopotamus.' It doesn't mean the hippo will eat you, it means the person really wanted his tomb to be protected.
Not a single piece of material culture - not a single object - has been found at Giza that can be interpreted to come from a lost civilization.
We are the only ones who really can care about the preservation Foreigners who come to excavate, maybe some of them care about preservation, but the majority care about discoveries.
Anyone can like their job... To love your job is not enough, you must give your passion to your job.
I am damn good. I am doing all this for Egypt and nothing else. I reject 70 per cent of media interviews while these people who accuse me are running after them.
