In July 2011 he was accosted by his own employees while sneaking out the backdoor of the ministry. He ran down the street jumped in a taxi, which was jumped upon by his employees While he continued carrying out official functions for 3 or 4 more days, he never set foot in his office again and he was removed from office by the end of the week.

Two weeks later a travel ban was slapped on him and it was only last year that he was able to travel abroad again.

I understand now. Man so much corruption in this world I tell you. You know as i used to watch his TV documentaries I always thought that there sneaky about him.

But even though he did something wrong I did like his devotion to trying to piece together Tut and the rest of the Amarna Family.

Hey remember that DNA test with Ahmose Nefertari and that Serine mummy did they ever revealed the DNA results on that?
