This weekend it was reported that the successor should be the Professor Zahi Hawass Alaa Ed-Din Abd El-Mohsen Shaheen, until recently dean of the Faculty of Archaeology at the University of Cairo. I have heard about it through a text message to Isabella.
Some web sites, primary among them is the authoritative Al-Ahram, the largest circulation daily newspaper in Egypt, giving the nomination as some, but not yet occurred. Others confirmed this adding that Shaheen has only to take the oath before officially taking office. The site of Al-Shuruq el-gedid goes so far as to publish some of his statements as a minister. Shaheen says that will not take action against the Director of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo until the investigation is completed and you will find a speedy solution to the problem of the many graduates waiting to work in archeology. The site of Al- Dostor Al-Asly instead defines a "shock" Shaheen's appointment as Minister of Antiquities. Remember that was a close associate of Faruq Hosni, minister of culture for two decades with Mubarak.

It also mentioned the participation of Polish Shaheen in a mission that had something to do with the Jewish world. This revelation, that contemporary Egypt is still capable of arousing an almost unanimous outrage, Shaheen was forced to resign as Dean of the Faculty of Archaeology of Cairo University.
Despite his reputation in Egypt, Shaheen is not well-known abroad, mainly because its publications are mainly in Arabic. Most of the relationships between Egypt and the Near East.

name Shaheen has suddenly jumped to the honors of the Internet at the end of November. According to some sites, during a conference, a Polish man named Marek Novak asked if he would consider it possible that the pyramids were the work of aliens. Shaheen said that he could neither confirm nor deny, but that within them there was certainly something that was not of this world. Asked the question was quick to deny the news and was deflated within ten days. It remains, however, track dozens of sites related to UFOs and similar topics from around the world.
What to say? I can only wish good luck to Professor Shaheen. It has so much need. The news comes on the antiquities of Egypt are daunting. These are not only looted. Dell'allentamento advantage of control by the police and army there are cases in which ordinary citizens take the opportunity to raise homes or enlarge their fields at the expense of archaeological sites. In a country like Egypt where the living space is limited by the desert, the appropriation of every available square foot is an instinct almost unstoppable.
It will take a superhuman effort to bring everything back to normal. This makes me think that Professor Shaheen has been appointed Minister of antiquities by the sound of the name. Alaa Ed-Din in Italian is Aladdin. Perhaps there is hope in having chosen to rub his lamp, pull out the genius (in this case better to say "alien") contained in it and put everything in place in no time at all. We really hope so.
