Zahi Hawass, Egypt’s chief Egyptologist, called Beyonce a "stupid person" while speaking to journalists about Beyonce's recent tour of the Giza pyramids near Cairo. Hawass said, "I showed her the Sphinx and I gave her a book on King Tutankhamen. She’s a stupid person and she doesn’t understand a thing and she doesn’t want to understand... She’s coming here to take pictures and that’s it."
