‘I’m NOT Hiding ANYTHING!’ Egyptologist Zahi Hawass Grilled On Pyramids By Experts
5/15/202656 min
Dr Zahi Hawass is a world-renowned Egyptian archaeologist and a global authority on The Great Pyramids. His many admirers consider him a cultural icon, a ferocious defender of ancient antiquities, even a real life Indiana Jones. His critics, however, believe he’s a gatekeeper, wielding an academic iron fist to silence the myriad alternative theories about the pyramid’s many mysteries. There was a huge response to his last appearance on Uncensored. So when Piers Morgan discovered he was in London - inaugurating the Exhibit of Ramses at Battersea Power Station - he had to invite him into the Uncensored studios. We’re also joined by investigative researcher and host of Bright Insight, Jimmy Corsetti, ancient mysteries YouTuber Michael Button and ‘The Rogue Archaeologist’ Timothy Alberino.

His many admirers consider him a cultural icon, a ferocious defender of ancient antiquities, even a real-life Indiana Jones. His critics, however, some of whom we'll hear from later, believe he's a gatekeeper wielding an academic iron fist to silence the myriad alternative theories about the pyramids' many mysteries. There was a huge response to his last appearance on Uncensored.
