[QUOTE=Trumple;42978291]If you can't have basic manners why should other people be considerate towards you? What makes Beyonce so entitled to be able to waste other people's time?[/QUOTE] I don't really get how people think being banned from seeing the pyramids is acceptable repercussion for someone being slightly rude to someone who was also being rude.
[QUOTE=Trumple;42978291]If you can't have basic manners why should other people be considerate towards you? What makes Beyonce so entitled to be able to waste other people's time?[/QUOTE] The story is so vague it's hard to even judge what happened. He was her tour guide... So he was on the clock for an undocumented amount of time and got sick of a world-famous celebrity making him wait. Sounds like a bad case of hyper-inflated ego to me.
[QUOTE=L33t Pinez;42977517][URL]http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/beyonce-banned-pyramids-article-1.1526681[/URL] I find this disgusting, I live in egypt (says USA because of registration country) and if you piss off one egyptian, the whole entire country is after your ass. I understand why the dude did this however. Holy shit, This is the first time i seen a egyptian teach manners. however really egypt's indiana jones how the fuck is he indiana jones.[/QUOTE] Because he's controlled Egypt's museum culture for the past forty years, that's how. He's a rather famously known bigot, misogynist and antisemite, but he's also pretty much kept Egyptian antiquities on the map for the last half century, and he absolutely knows his shit backwards and forwards, and there's no one who even comes close to his level of knowledge on the subject.

I don't think it's a hyper inflated ego, he was probably pissed because his photographer got shit from her bodyguard AND she was late? If I was the tour guide and the people I was showing round were rude and arrogant I'd ditch them too [editline]25th November 2013[/editline] banning them was probably an overreaction

Google is your friend.
1. If he was taking photos for advertising or something you would think he would be doing it on his own time and not while he's giving a tour, especially one for someone who is quite famous. 2. I don't see how her personal ego is any part of this situation, the guy flat out demanded her to apologize which is a fucking asinine thing to do. 3. Pretty much every bodyguard would react the same way if someone suddenly started taking pictures of whoever they're protecting.
[QUOTE=L33t Pinez;42977628]Hawass may be a dick hole, but at least he isn't one of those egyptians (the many that roam the streets fucking hammering on my car for 6 egyptian pounds and spitting on my windshields for MONEY.) that when they see a rich person, do whatever she says for cashcashcashcashcash. Seriously, you should see the fucking police here, You can even BRIBE THEM to do actions for you, For a dollar (6/7 pounds) which is pretty cheap. [B]Hell, you can murder someone in front of them and they would. A:Run away B:ask for money C:be the right guy (1 percent chance) or D:do zero shits[/B] Hell, even in the american zones, theres only one cop there that does 0 things.[/QUOTE] Sounds like guards in elder scrolls.
In complete seriousness, define "smuggling of antiquities". I only ask because there are situations where someone could be accused of such when they were doing something noble.
She should have apologised, simple as that. But still, that Zahi Hawass guy is such a dickhead... I used to see him on the Discovery Channel and saw a few smaller videos online of his 'work', and all the time and he's such an arrogant, controlling little bastard. I'm absolutely not surprised he's acted so over the top on this. I would be ashamed to have that angry little shit essentially acting as the face of Egyptian archaeology and tomb exploration & recovery. Just look at him, you can tell he's an aggro; [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a5/Zahi_Hawass.jpg/240px-Zahi_Hawass.jpg[/IMG]
[QUOTE=maxumym;42981459]Sounds like guards in elder scrolls.[/QUOTE] Time for arrow joke maybe?
eh you never should fully believe these stories 100% until you hear both sides especially with someone like him he could be over exaggerating the whole thing.
Hawass should learn that the pyramids aren't his and Beyonce and her team should learn that Hawass and the pyramids aren't their's. There.
What a boss, keep going.
When the hell did i say its good because he isn't a serial killer? My point is being, at least he isnt someone you can bribe, like almost everyone in egypt. Zeke has a point, Egypt owns the pyramids, not him. However he owns the tour, so he can kick her out.
