Zahi Hawass is one of the most famous and popularly known archaeologists in the world. Hawass' stardom among the general public is almost comparable to that of the fictional Indiana Jones; he has recently raised over $500,000 for a children's museum by selling replicas of his own signature style "explorer hat" in conjunction with the traveling King Tut tour. CNN.com has posted a video outlining how his passion for archaeology developed, his duties as Egypt's head of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, his plans for a large new museum, and his efforts to repatriate stolen Egyptian antiquities.
