The worlds most famous archeologist blames his enemies for his fall, while his critics lambaste him for shoddy science, a dictatorial approach, and unseemly relations with U.S. television. In this profile, based on a recent lengthy interview in Cairo, Hawass defends his controversial reign, frets over unleashed by the events of January, and reveals his contempt for a leaderless revolution. Its a fascinating portrait of a man obsessed with the past being swept away by current events.
