Where is it my "opinion"? You are misquoting something you "heard" which itself is incorrect and not something Hawass, which is where it comes from, ever said. But please, can anyone quote Hawass or any other Egyptologist saying they believed that "more than 90% of all ancient ruins in Egypt have yet to be discovered there. "? Just as a matter of common sense imagine every AE ruin-every pyramid and temple and dam and structure ever discovered, which for most of you is still but a fraction of the total otherwise known, and think to yourself if it is reasonable that all that has been discovered is 10%, or less, than the actual total. There are roughly 125 pyramids in Egypt (118-138 depending on the source), for example, which if what has been discovered constituted only 10% of the total this means there are 1125 pyramids yet to be discovered. Yet this makes sense to you?

It is strange that despite not knowing what you are talking about you defend what you "heard" nonetheless as if what I am saying is just my "opinion" compared to what you "heard". Is it not possible doctor that what you think you heard is not correct in the first place? I understand you have a vested interest in what you heard being "true" but if it's not then don't you want to know this and revise your opinions accordingly?
