Zahi Hawass Talks to San Francisco's KGO-TV About Tutankhamun
Poziom:
Temat: Społeczeństwo i nauki społeczne
Hello, I'm in Saqqara, Egypt, just to say “Hello”.
I'm standing in front of the oldest free-standing stone structure in the world,
the famous step pyramid, more than 4600 years old.
We're here to learn more about king Tut, the boy king,
because, as you probably know, King Tut exhibit is coming in De Young Museum this summer.
The exhibit will be called “Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of Pharaohs”.
And we are learning all about king Tut and the golden age of pharaohs on this trip.
We have our personal tour guide, one of the most famous archaeologists in the world, Dr. Zahi Hawass.
He is Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt,
he's known all over the world.
I always say that we discovered until now 30 percents of the Egyptian monuments.
And still there are 70 percents buried underneath the ground.
I've been excavating in this area since I came from the University of Pennsylvania in 1987.
I started here in 1988.
I've made major important discoveries here.
I found, we discovered the pyramid of the queen called Khuit,
found many important tombs here.
And suddenly, I never expected to discover this pyramid.
There was the sand, about 60 feet high of sand.
We took that sand out, it was a mountain like this one.
And I found underneath the sand this new pyramid.
The superstructure of this pyramid is about 15 feet high.
And once it was 50 feet high,
beautifully cased with white fined limestone.
Dr. Hawass is taking us down into cemetery excavation sites,
where new discoveries are being made, just in the last couple of months,
new precious pieces of history that you will see, we're giving you a sneak peek,
you will see before the rest of the world, just to see it.
And he's taking us to the sites, to the tombs, you'll see mummies.
All this and more surprises and discoverieswill be coming up along the way on this trip.
So, stay with us and I'll see you on KGO.
