inside the egyptian museum

Dr. Zahi Hawass is coming to London, to promote the massive - you can take that quite literally - art book 'A Secret Voyage' and the more normal-sized - but still stunning, we're sure - 'Inside the Egyptian Museum with Zahi Hawass'. To the list of must-attend events is now added a book signing at the most famous Egyptian-owned location in London: Harrods.

Book Signing at Harrods

Invited to London's most famous departement store by owner Mohamed Al Fayed, the Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (that's Dr. Hawass) will sign copies of his new books at Waterstone’s, Third Floor, on Thursday 10th December - we assume this means you can also bring your copy of The Lost Tombs of Thebes.

One does have to wonder how Zahi Hawass actually finds time to partake in any archaeology. The Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities is one of the world’s leading archaeologists, as well as one of its most famous. When he’s not travelling the world promoting Egypt’s wonders (Dr. Hawass will be in London on the 8th of  December) or grabbing headlines demanding them back, he must surely find himself tied to his desk, busily tinkering away at his keyboard. How else would Hawass manage to become one of archaeology’s most prolific authors?

Have you always wished to meet Dr. Hawass in person? Now is your chance! The world-famous archaeologist comes to London in December and Heritage World Press invites you to a special lecture by the Egyptologist - and maybe even dinner. Zahi Hawass will also introduce his two new books: Inside the Egyptian Museum and A Secret Voyage.

Reception & Lecture at the British Museum

Tuesday, 8th of December Dr. Zahi Hawass - probably the world's most famous Egyptologist - will speak at a special lecture in the British Museum's lecture theatre, after a reception in the Egyptian Sculpture Gallery. The lecture - where 600 of you will get the chance to hear Dr Hawass tell about his work - is organized by Heritage World Press and the British Egyptian Society to celebrate the launch of the SCA's Secretary General's new book.
