Just the opposite of what actually happened.
And this is where, 'you' should have provided video of the actual interaction between Hawass and Hancock...

Yes, I do the same thing.

Always a moving target.
Yes, and herein lies my issue with Hancock, but HERE'S WHY HE DOES IT:

Actual "God(s)" ...VERY VERY 'freak people out'- taboo subject. If someone were to say, "I have absolute proof of (*Insert X-files episode title here*) the general public would freak-the-hockey-puck-out.

Thor is cool on the silver screen or blue ray, but in real life such a being/reality would be unacceptable...a national threat...cause for mass panic...you know, all the worst parts of the bible...satan risen...that sort of thing.

So, I recall several instances, including herein where Hancock says, "I'm just a reporter!"

You wrote it, what does it mean???

*"It means whatever the hell you want it to mean mother-kisser!" lol

Yes, I've read, Fingerprints of the Gods, Chariots of the Gods, and I am intimately familiar with the claims of those who say we have, were, or are being visited by "aliens"...and I dismiss those claims 'now' too. I think they were leaps, without proper evidentiary support. Modern re-interpretations, better understandings, new evidence, all of these should allow us to change our minds, reach new conclusions, and not adhere to old dogma.

*I'm still looking for the debate between Hancock and Zawass.
