Egypt: Teacher Who Says Jews Built Pyramids Riles Authorities

[Shinobi]

Egypt's archaelogical sites authority has laid charges of smearing "the image of the ancient Egyptians" against a high school teacher who allegedly told her pupils that the pyramids were built by Jews. The High Council for Egyptian Antiquity, said the teacher who is employed at a private language school in Cairo had claimed that "the ancient Egyptians killed and tortured the Jews who did not participate in the construction of the immense burial structures (pyramids)".

"The theories of the high school teacher do not have any historical basis," the High Council's director, Zahi Awas said. "There only purpose is to smear the image of the ancient Egyptians," he added.

Awas who said "it is well known that the international community of historians and archaeologists regard the pyramids as the work of the ingenuity of the great Egyptian civilisation," did not name the teacher.
