He is known to have a very domineering personality, and has previously held high positions in both the Supreme Council of Antiquities and then created Ministry of Antiquities. He's involved in everything in part because everything has had to go through him (or through the very small group he was a part of)

The things he has discovered or worked on are not fake. However, it is extremely hard for other people to independently publish or research things without his involvement. There has been criticism of this, though at the same time, others have said that his way of handling things has pushed for higher levels of quality VS what used to be there.
