He's not in charge as of 2018 or so, a new head of antiquities has been named, I believe. The new guy has made numerous changes that us amateur Egyptologists really approve of. I saw the new head in person, actually, at Karnak, in December last year.
This is good news :-). I thought he was still lingering around. He was one of those "the science is settled" people.
To be honest, I have to give him credit for getting me interested in some of these "alternate theories" out there ... Nobody sane and confident in their conclusions behave the way that guy behaved when anything outside of approved questions were asked. That told me he was hiding something.
