Agi: I Tesori dei Faraoni raccontati dall'egittologo Zahi Hawass

AGI - La mostra Tesori dei Faraoni, in corso alle Scuderie del Quirinale, continua a registrare risultati straordinari: oltre 250.000 visitatori nei primi quattro mesi di apertura, e una proroga fino alla domenica 14 giugno 2026. Un dato che colloca Tesori dei Faraoni come l’evento culturale più seguito della stagione romana e conferma il fascino senza tempo dell’antico Egitto alle Scuderie.
Lunedì 23 marzo alle ore 19.00 il Teatro Argentina ospiterà Tesori dei Faraoni raccontati da Zahi Hawass, un incontro speciale con uno dei più celebri archeologi al mondo.
Un approfondimento ideale
La serata, introdotta da Roberto Giacobbo, rappresenta “un approfondimento ideale” percorso espositivo: se la mostra consente di ammirare da vicino capolavori e reperti millenari, l’appuntamento al Teatro Argentina offrirà al pubblico la possibilità di ascoltare le storie che si celano dietro quei tesori, raccontate da chi ha contribuito in prima persona a riportarli alla luce.
Zahi Hawass, l'egittologo di fama mondiale
Zahi Hawass è una delle figure più note e riconoscibili dell’archeologia internazionale. Egittologo di fama mondiale, già Ministro delle Antichità d’Egitto, ha diretto scavi in siti simbolo come Giza, Saqqara e la Valle dei Re, legando il proprio nome ad alcune delle scoperte più importanti degli ultimi decenni come la Città d’Oro.
Con il suo stile “diretto e carismatico”, capace di unire “rigore scientifico” e “grande capacità narrativa”, Hawass ha saputo avvicinare milioni di persone alla storia dell’antico Egitto.
Un viaggio tra oro e scoperte 
Nel corso dell’incontro racconterà in prima persona missioni, ritrovamenti e retroscena delle sue ricerche: dalle tombe reali alle città perdute, dalle nuove tecnologie applicate agli scavi alle indagini sulle dinastie faraoniche.
Un viaggio tra scoperte, oro e immortalità che amplia e completa l’esperienza della mostra alle Scuderie del Quirinale, offrendo uno sguardo privilegiato sui contesti, sulle emozioni e sulle sfide che accompagnano ogni ritrovamento archeologico.

The Treasures of the Pharaohs, as told by Egyptologist Zahi Hawass

AGI - The “Treasures of the Pharaohs” exhibition, currently taking place at the Scuderie del Quirinale, continues to record extraordinary results: over 250,000 visitors in the first four months of opening, and an extension until Sunday, June 14, 2026. This figure places “Treasures of the Pharaohs” as the most followed cultural event of the Roman season and confirms the timeless fascination of ancient Egypt at the Scuderie.

On Monday, March 23rd at 7:00 PM, the Teatro Argentina will host “Treasures of the Pharaohs” as told by Zahi Hawass, a special meeting with one of the world’s most famous archaeologists.

An Ideal Exploration
The evening, introduced by Roberto Giacobbo, represents “an ideal exploration” of the exhibition path: while the exhibition allows visitors to admire masterpieces and millennial artifacts up close, the meeting at the Teatro Argentina will offer the public the opportunity to hear the stories hidden behind these treasures, told by those who contributed firsthand to bringing them to light.

Zahi Hawass, the World-Renowned Egyptologist
Zahi Hawass is one of the most well-known and recognizable figures in international archaeology. A world-renowned Egyptologist, former Minister of Egyptian Antiquities, he has directed excavations at iconic sites such as Giza, Saqqara and the Valley of the Kings, linking his name to some of the most important discoveries of recent decades, such as the Golden City.

With his “direct and charismatic” style, capable of uniting “scientific rigor” and “great narrative ability,” Hawass has been able to bring millions of people closer to the history of the ancient Egypt.

A Journey Through Gold and Discoveries
During the meeting, he will personally recount missions, findings, and behind-the-scenes stories of his research: from royal tombs to lost cities, from new technologies applied to excavations to investigations into pharaonic dynasties.

A journey through discoveries, gold, and immortality that broadens and completes the experience of the exhibition at the Scuderie del Quirinale, offering a privileged view of the contexts, emotions, and challenges that accompany every archaeological discovery.

After filmmaker Curtis #Woodside and #Egyptologist Sofia #Aziz were tapped to work on #Netflix’s #QueenCleopatra "documentary," they set out to create their own documentary about #Cleopatra. Without reanactment, but with

As far as I can tell it is based on historical evidence instead of unproven speculation and wishfull thinking, allbeit with a bit of Egyptian patriotism.
