The film ends with a supposed deep and insightful question if the Sphinx should be opened at all or if its secrets should remain a mystery. Obviously this video is meant to generate hype for the project and money for its producers. I guess staging a multimillion dollar live opening of the Sphinx on television and referring to the popular icon Indiana Jones is not propagandistic or unscientific according to Dr. Hawass. I'll have to remember this when I pursue my graduate studies in Archaeology. Although Mr. Hancock introduced many interesting points, I think that his main concern with the project is the code of ethics involved.
Anthropology is one of the few academic studies that has a code of ethics.
This ethic includes not destroying your site and most importantly, the sharing and publishing all of your research. If the Florida project continues, Mr. Hancock fears that the research information will not be made available to all, but only to an elite few - the wealthy and powerful. This is perhaps the greatest injustice. Before I go, I remembered something interesting from Hancock's talk. He told us how Hawass was fired from his Chief Inspector's job because a statue of Chephren went missing.
