* 1947 – Zahi Hawass, Egyptian archaeologist

Zahi Hawass, the former chief of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, asked that the stele be repatriated to Egypt, urging in comments to reporters: " If the British want to be remembered, if they want to restore their reputation, they should volunteer to return the Rosetta Stone because it is the icon of our Egyptian identity ".

In February 2010, the results of DNA tests confirmed that he was the son of Akhenaten ( mummy KV55 ) and Akhenaten's sister and wife ( mummy KV35YL ), whose name is unknown but whose remains are positively identified as " The Younger Lady " mummy found in KV35 .< ref name =" Hawass2010 "> Hawass, Zahi et al.

The Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass, has said in a press release that media reports of this " are unfounded and misleading " and that " The Castiglioni brothers have not been granted permission by the SCA to excavate in Egypt, so anything they claim to find is not to be believed.

The study of Egyptology, however, has in recent decades been taken up by Egyptian archæologists such as Zahi Hawass and the Supreme Council of Antiquities he leads.

Dr. Zahi Hawass, the former Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, believes that Nefertiti belongs to Egypt and that the bust was taken out of Egypt illegally and should therefore be returned.

Dr. Zahi Hawass said " Stierlin is not a historian.

The results of genetic and other scientific tests published in February 2010 have confirmed that the person buried there was both the son of Amenhotep III ( as well as the father of Tutankhamun ), and also that his age at the time of his death was in fact consistent with that of Akhenaten's ; it is therefore almost certain that it is indeed Akhenaten's body .< ref name =" HawassZahi "> Hawass, Zahi et al.

However, genetic studies of the Egyptian royal mummies, led by Zahi Hawass and Carsten Pusch, have now established that Tutankhamun ’ s biological mother was KV35YL, the " Younger Lady " discovered in the mummy cache in the tomb of Amenhotep II.

Egypt's chief archaeologist Zahi Hawass, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, announced, on November 11, 2008, that she was entombed, in a 4, 300-year-old headless 5 metre ( 16-foot-tall ) Saqqara most complete subsidiary pyramid.

However, in 2007, Dr. Zahi Hawass announced that the mummy which was previously thought to be Thutmose I that of a thirty year old man who had died as a result of an arrow wound to the chest.

The discovery was announced by Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, on 11 November 2008.

On September 24, 2007, it was announced that a team of Egyptian archaeologists led by Zahi Hawass, discovered eight baskets of 3, 000 year old doum fruit in King Tutankhamun's tomb.

On 27 June 2007, Supreme Council of Antiquities director Zahi Hawass offered what he considered to be definitive proof that this " corpulent, elderly " body was indeed Hatshepsut.

* The Younger Lady who, in June 2003, was controversially claimed to be Nefertiti by British Egyptologist Joann Fletcher, whereas Egypologist Zahi Hawass believed it to be Kiya, another wife of Akhenaten who is believed by some to be the birth mother of Tutankhamun.

On August 30, 2003, Reuters further quoted Hawass: " I'm sure that this mummy is not a female ", and " Dr Fletcher has broken the rules and therefore, at least until we have reviewed the situation with her university, she must be banned from working in Egypt.

And finally, Hawass argues that also the sort of throne on which the figurine is seated does not match the artistic styles of any Old Kingdom artifact.

By November 2005, Hawass was suggesting a three-month loan of the Rosetta Stone, while reiterating the eventual goal of a permanent return ; in December 2009, he proposed to drop his claim for the permanent return of the Rosetta Stone if the British Museum loaned the stone to Egypt for three months, for the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza in 2013.

In a more recent research effort led by Hawass, the mummy known as " The Younger Lady " was put through CT scan analysis.

In 2007, Hawass threatened to ban exhibitions of Egyptian artifacts in Germany if Nefertiti was not lent to Egypt, but to no avail.

Hawass suggested that Thutmose had created the left eye, but it was later destroyed.

Hawass also claimed that the sculptor Thutmose had created the eye, but it was later destroyed.

Hawass has received widespread publicity internationally, and was the subject of a reality television series in the United States, Chasing Mummies.

Hawass was born in Damietta, Egypt.

Others claim, however, that he was fired because a valuable ancient " statue " under the custody of Hawass was stolen from Giza.

When U. S. President Barack Obama was in Cairo in June 2009 Hawass gave him personal tours of the sites of ancient Egypt.

Hawass was reported to have faxed a colleague that 13 cases were destroyed and to have said, " My heart is broken and my blood is boiling.

In a blog on his website it was reported that Hawass " will continue excavating, writing books, and representing his country.

According to Hawass, " Tutankhamun was not black, and the portrayal of ancient Egyptian civilization as black has no element of truth to it.

Hawass added that DNA analysis was out of the question because it would not lead to anything.

A few, however, have said in interviews that some of what Hawass has done for the field was long overdue.

On April 17, 2011, Hawass was sentenced to jail for one year for refusing to obey a court ruling relating to a contract for the gift shop at the Egyptian Museum to a company with links to Hawass.

Hawass said that the decision was made at " a time when Muslim holy sites in occupied Palestine face assaults from Israeli occupation forces and settlers ".
