Hawass Explains Moses Absence from Artifacts
Archaeologist and former Minister of Antiquities Zahi Hawass confirmed that the absence of historical references to stories of prophets such as Moses and Abraham on tomb and temple walls is due to strict doctrinal conditions among the Pharaonic civilization, which require depicting the king as an eternal victorious god. He explained that inscriptions are limited to the king’s achievements in building tombs and temples, unifying Egypt, and military victories, while documenting disasters and defeats is prohibited as it contradicts the concept of divinity. He also denied rumors about the use of children's blood to open tombs, affirming that most of the exhibited items are modern forgeries intended for scams.
