STATEMENT FROM JOHN ANTHONY WEST AND GRAHAM
HANCOCK
DATED 17 MAY 1998
We're releasing this statement following our participation in a one-week
conference on the mysteries of ancient Egypt. The conference was held on
board the MS Statendam cruising from Vancouver to Alaska and back. The
other speakers at the conference were Dr Zahi Hawass, Director of the Giza
Plateau, Dr E.C. Krup, Director of the Griffiths Observatory, Los Angeles,
and Dannion Brinkley, author and explorer of the afterlife. The conference
was organised by Visions Travel Ltd., of Los Angeles and moderated by
radio talk show host Art Bell.
During the course of spirited debate a posting on the internet was brought to
our attention by Art Bell. The posting had been written by Larry Hunter and
Amargi Hillier and asserted falsely that Dr Zahi Hawass had been fired
from his post by the Egyptian government. We are aware that this posting is
one of many by Mr Hunter and his friend Boris Said which have
misrepresented the truth concerning Dr Hawass and indeed slandered him.
As is widely known we ourselves have had serious differences with Dr
Hawass over many years. However over the past six months we have been
engaged in a civil and increasingly amiable dialogue with Dr Hawass. This
dialogue has convinced us that our differences with him, however
acrimoniously expressed, were largely due to mutual misperceptions. We
therefore feel it incumbent on ourselves to set the record straight and to
assure all who are interested in these matters that the statements made by
Hunter & Co are utterly false, misleading and malicious and, most
important of all, are backed by no evidence whatsoever.
We would like to state, for the record, that while our disagreements with Dr
Hawass over matters Egyptological still continue, we are in the process of
exploring them with him in depth with the kind of civil and courteous
debate that are appropriate for science and scholarship. We are now
absolutely convinced that the precious monuments of the Giza plateau could
not be in better hands than those of Dr Hawass. We have seen him at work.
We have seen his passion and genuine love for the pyramids and the
Sphinx. And we have seen that above all else he is determined to ensure the
preservation of these monuments for the future. There are no conspiracies.
There are no hidden finds. There is no skulduggery. And we challenge
Larry Hunter and his colleagues to produce one shred of documentable
evidence that will support their assertions.
We have met and talked at length to Mr Hunter, who has frequently
attempted to engage us in his agenda. We have reviewed his claims to have
special access to and knowledge of the  monuments of Giza and found these
claims to be utterly without substance. We fully respect Larry Hunter's
right to access the internet. We fully support everybody's right to access the
internet. But in our considered opinion Larry Hunter's postings are the
Egyptological equivalent of child pronography and are a great disservice to
all of us who genuinely seek to unravel the mysteries of Egypt.
Signed
John Anthony West and Graham Hancock

 evidence that will support their assertions.
E allora 'Hancock & Bauval' (ragione sociale collettiva): perchč ci avete fatto
intendere nei vs. libercoli che c'erano cose oscure, che West non poteva fare X e
Hawass-lo-zotico diceva e faceva Y, ecc. ecc.?
A questo punto mi incavolo come Piaggio, perchč in un certo senso č frode. Allora,
cari 'Hancock & Bauval' (ragione sociale collettiva 2-il ritorno) pigliatevi sů la
Foschini e fate con Hawass una bella trasmissione tutta "massě hai ragione Zahi" e
"ma come conservi bene la sfinge Zahi" :-D

Hello
I attended the conference that was mentioned in the posting.
I had my laptop and was asked to post the statement by
Graham Hancock and John West. They typed the posting in my
suite aboard the ship and I posted it on the internet the next
day when we landed in Vancouver. I am forwarding quite a bit
of these messages to Graham and John and Dr. Hawass and will
forward your message to them also.
I am leaving thursday for Micronesia (Nam Madol) and will be
gone for 3 weeks but will try to check my mail whenever possible.
Graham and Dr. Hawass are also on the road this week..
Regards
Lew Jenkins

Io penso che Hancock e Bauval cerchino di avere informazioni preferenziali da
Hawass, ed č per questo che stanno diventando quasi *protettivi* nei suoi confronti
(se mi passate il termine).
Molto probabilmente i due stanno scrivendo qualcosa (o per accingersi a farlo)
basandosi sulle nuove scoperte di Hawass.
Leggendo a modo il messaggio, si capisce che i due non vogliono mollare del tutto l'
"antagonismo" con  Hawass, anche se hanno probabilmente capito che l'unico modo per
non essere facilmente smentibili č quello di stare dalla parte di chi ...ha dati di
prima mano (o almeno, cosě pare). :-)
