With all due respect, OP, things like this happen in science just about all the time, to both men and women. Getting carried away because you're too passionate about a theory is possibly the most common kind of scientific failing out there.

That's not to say that your frustration over this particular case isn't valid, but if you freak out every time this happens to a lady scientist, you'll soon have no nervous tissue left.

Emotional over-investment comes into play a LOT in science. A lot. The famous one in my field is the Bone Wars.

It happens. It sucks when it happens on a public stage instead of just within the scientific community, yes. There's damage control to be done, and it will take time, but I'm pretty sure Egyptology will keep moving forward.

The Bone Wars? That sounds intriguing! Do tell?

Wikipedia because I am lazy.

Back in the early days of paleontology, these two dudes Marsh and Cope decided to have a pissing contest and used some underhanded and blatant techniques to do it. It's actually pretty interesting but did cause a lot of collateral damage to the field in the mean time.

Wow, damn. That's a hell of a thing. Oh, humanity, you strange creature you.

You could site the Kraken research as a more recent, smaller, but totally bullshit problem in Paleo.


Or Jurassic Park.

Yep. There's another Egyptologist (Nicholas Reeves) who's also so blinded by his boner for Nefertiti that anything he says about this time period can't be taken seriously.
