Archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass said that no person has filed a complaint with the attorney general's office against him or Dr. Mamdouh Al-Damati.

Hawass confirmed that "National Geographic" produced a film about King Tutankhamun, and that all studies were carried out by an Egyptian team, while there is no indication that Tutankhamun is a Hebrew one.

Dr. Hawass added that an Egyptian team headed by Dr. Yahya Gad, Dr. Ashraf Salim, Dr. Sahar Selim and many Egyptian scholars carried out studies on royal mummies.

All these studies have been published in many scientific articles, as well as in a book named after Dr. Hawass and Dr. Sahar Selim, entitled "Scanning The Pharaohs".

There is no indication that there is an Egyptian king with a Hebrew origin. Rather, Tutankhamen has been proven with scientific evidences that he is an Egyptian and the son of an Egyptian queen, who is the daughter of King Amenhotep III and Queen T.

Archaeologist Dr. Hussein Bassir, director of the Antiquities Museum at Bibliotheca Alexandrina, noted that there is no evidence that " Kiya " is the mother of King Tutankhamun, Kiya also is not a Hebrew one.
