Zahi Hawass on Herodotus and Egyptian myths
The article discusses statements made by the Egyptian scientist Zahi Hawass regarding superstitions related to the idea that aliens built the pyramids. He sees such claims as unscientific, deceptive, and full of falsehoods. Hawass emphasized that some unreliable books, widely promoted around the world, promote these accusations, and he called for not relying on those unscientific sources. He pointed out that the first to spread such myths was Herodotus, the father of history, who relayed unreliable stories from the villagers of Abu Sir. Among these stories was the claim that Queen Khufu’s daughter was a prostitute who asked for stones to build the pyramid. Hawass added that Herodotus discovered the presence of water underground and a water well between the Sphinx and the pyramid, which was later proven to be the tomb of the god Osiris. He clarified that the area is free of any other archaeological artifacts. In conclusion, he stressed the importance of raising awareness among young people about the true history and refuted the claims about the pyramid construction, attributing their building to ordinary Egyptian workers as part of national projects, not to extraterrestrial beings.
