Replying to True Advocate

Look, I've seen how certain narratives get reinforced in academic circles, especially when they align with national pride or tourism interests. Egypt's archaeological legacy is huge, and the stakes are high. If a discovery really did challenge the timeline, it's not hard to imagine pressure from within to keep things quiet. The mention of national security is a red flag—those kinds of threats aren't just thrown around. It's not about conspiracy, it's about power dynamics. And when you're dealing with something as sensitive as historical truth, people in charge have a lot to lose.

Sure, but the real issue isn't just about suppression—it's about how hard it is to verify these claims without access to internal records or whistleblower accounts. The national security angle is powerful, but it's also vague. Without concrete evidence, it's easy to conflate suspicion with certainty.

Sure but the fact that someone like Dordier is even bringing it up—and that there's a name attached like Zahias—suggests it's not just random speculation. People don't just make this stuff up.
