Egyptologist No Likie Beyonce

Share     




Renowned historian and Egypt's chief Egyptologist Zahi Hawass doesn't think much of Beyonce.  Hawass called Beyonce a "stupid person" while speaking to the press about the pop star's recent tour of the Giza Pyramids near Cairo.  Reporter Summer al-Gamal was on-hand to document Hamass's rant, according to ContactMusic.com.  Recalls Gamal:

"Hawass said, 'I showed her the Sphinx and I gave her a book on King Tutankhamen,'' during his self-guided tour. The reporter says, 'Then he stopped being diplomatic and said in anger, 'She's a stupid person and she doesn't understand a thing and she doesn't want to understand... She's coming here to take pictures and that's it.'"

Someone's eager to make himself Jay-Z's very own moving target.  What a self-righteous goober.  Does this make me a Twiologist or a 9021olgist?  I mean, if we're going to hand out titles...

i visit this site more so for the pictures, not your "news" stories or your wannabe witty comments. give it a rest stop trying so hard.

Kudos to this dude for having the balls to speak the truth and reveal Beyonce as the ignorant and arrogant person I've long suspected her to be. What an ungrateful bitch to be blase about one of the wonders of the world. I would kill for a personally guided tour!

Duh! She is just a singer, what people expect from her!

He's absolutely right though. She's as dumb as a dull doornail. At least someone's admitting it.

She may be dumb (so you think). She made $80 Million last year in profit. People are just jealous.

i happen to watch zahi hawass' documentaries on discovery and he's really smart. although beyonce may not be as smart as a scientist, she was in another country and should have respected their culture. egyptians are really proud of their heritage and she should have paid attention while zahi was explaining about ancient egypt.
zahi is a conservative senior citizen and maybe both of them should have considered their cultural differences.
zahi shouldn't have called her "stupid", and beyonce should have shown respect.

Just because she made 80 million dollars last year does't make her smart. People obviously find her tallented and appreciate her music. She's just lucky she has a good voice. She still has no idea about other people's cultures and you don't exactly listen to her interviews and think she's a particularly intelligent person. That's just my opinion.
