THE GIZA DIG

18 Oct 1996

I have just been informed that Zahi Hawass has been transferred from the director of the Giza Plateau to another area. He is no longer in control of the operations on the plateau. To the best of my understanding, the Egyptian Antiquities Organization has been embarrassed about the way in which Hawass has been presenting the information and conducting the operations. I think he has been transferred to an area in the Nile delta.

This means that the Florida State University project will now resume operations. Boris Said has just left for Egypt and will be working with the FSU team that plans to dig into the tunnel that runs from one of the pyramids to the chamber underneath the paws. I understand that they will not be going in through the pyramid or the Sphinx enclosure, but rather outside, where nothing will be damaged. I am not absolutely sure, but I think they plan to dig a hole and put a camera down to see, before they would actually go in.

Mr. Said has brought six technicians from Fox television with several crates of equipment. The plan is to begin digging on November 6 and then go in the chamber sometime in January.
