For over forty years, a handful of individuals have kept ignoring or belittling the value of sound scientific research, even though they harbor research laboratories in their own museums. They have advised others not to interfere, to reject the sculptures, and to let matters stagnate and die. They have stubbornly refused all repeated offers made to them to re-examine the sculptures in the light of true Egyptological knowledge and irrefutable scientific facts. We no longer live in the Middle-Ages. The public should not allow these persons to impose and dictate their will on the art museums.
Rumors are disreputable and highly inappropriate for scholars to make.
Those who spread them debase themselves, their name and reputation. The norms of ethics and decency require from true scholars to fully and personally investigate, research and scrutinize objectively and thoroughly any scientific matters that they discuss or study and on which they issue a scientific opinion or statement. Scholars should form a scientific opinion based entirely on their own expertise and not on hearsay. And if perchance a scholar cannot reach a decision after his study, there is no shame in acknowledging or admitting it, as not only it is shame to condemn unjustly, but it is certainly immoral and indeed a crime to do so.
