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.

Down in the valley.

And back up. Stomp stomp.

Apparently I'm not the only one getting their tractor stuck. A neighbour tried clearing his farm road and I saw him spinning wheels for a while. Looks like he somehow got out and turned around with the help of his front loader, but had to abandon the road clearing.

On the upside, it's +7°C and melting. Our little river is swelling to a raging torrent.

View down a snow-covered valley with trees on both sides. A low shack is on the left. The sky is grey and overcast. A set of old tractor trails is barely visible under the snow.A steep road up a hill between trees. There is one set of human bootprints leading down from the top and severel sets of various animal prints. Some dry plant stems are poking up from the snow. Fallen and leaning trees are plentiful.

The Valley of Linth (Lintthal) and the Todi, Glarus, Switzerland between ca. 1890 and ca. 1900. Views of Switzerland

The image depicts a picturesque landscape featuring snow-capped mountains, lush green valleys, and dense forests. The scene captures the natural beauty of Switzerland with clear skies above where sunlight gently illuminates parts of the terrain. In the foreground, on the right side, there's a lone figure standing in silhouette against the verdant hillside, suggesting a sense of scale to the vastness around them. This person appears small compared to the towering peaks and expansive valleys that dominate the landscape.

The middle ground reveals rolling hills with patches of snow visible at higher elevations. Below these slopes is a river snaking through the valley, its path leading towards what seems like human habitation in the form of buildings nestled among fields. The overall composition of this image evokes tranquility and grandeur, capturing an idyllic snapshot of Switzerland's natural splendor during late spring or early summer.

There are textual elements present within the photo: "1270 P.Z LINTHAL" is inscribed at the bottom right corner in a script font that may indicate either a location or perhaps a date and reference related to this photographic print. Additionally, there's some text on top of the image which could be part of an album title or description but it’s not entirely legible due to its partial cropping out from view.

The #ConnectedAtBirth #etymology of the week is AVALANCHE/VALLEY/LAPSE #wotd #avalanche #valley #lapse

A momentary lapse in judgment when you’re in a valley in avalanche country can be a disaster, and that’s etymologically apt. The word avalanche was borrowed from French, from avalantze “descent” in the Romansch language of Switzerland, from lavantse in the Savoy dialect near the Italian border in the western Alps. The first part comes from French avaler “to descend”, from the phrase à val “to the valley”, in Latin ad vallem, from Latin vallis “valley”, which also came into English through French as valley. The second part of avalanche probably comes ultimately from Latin labi “to slip, slide”, which in its past participle form lapsus also came into English as lapse.

Oregon. Josephine County, near Grants Pass. On road off main highway, leading to Roque River. Hop farms picker: "But they don't say what they pay."

The image shows a black and white photograph of a street sign attached to the trunk of a tree. The sign reads "LATHROP'S HOP & BERRY FIELDS - 2-MILES," followed by an arrow pointing right with additional text stating, "Longest Picking Job in Valley." Below this information is another line that says "Josephine County" and further down it mentions the road leading to Roque River. The sign indicates a distance of two miles towards Lathrop's Hop & Berry Fields.

The photograph appears vintage, suggesting historical significance or an attempt at preserving a moment from history. In Oregon context, this could be indicative of rural activities during times when hop picking was prevalent in Josephine County near Grants Pass area. This setting points to the agricultural landscape and laborious jobs associated with it. The sign's mention of "Longest Picking Job" hints towards an era where such manual farming tasks were more common or held greater economic value than they do today.

This image, identified as 6495b7b3ba25398d90c4f08f.jpg and found at the provided URL link, encapsulates a snapshot of rural life's simplicity and labor-intensive agricultural practices.

@rokhanna.bsky.social keeps landing on my radar barely. He worked with #Massie on this one really good thing, but the #billionaires know how to change gears. I know he's in front of #Silicon #Valley. That's my whole problem with #Khanna. I don't believe that he believes in a human rights structure.

Das Kloster Prodromos (Monastery of St John the Baptist) klammert sich wie ein Schwalbennest an die Felswand der Lousios-Schlucht. Gegründet im 12. Jhd, diente es Mönchen jahrhundertelang als Rückzugsort und Zuflucht. Die aus Stein und Holz erbauten Zellen scheinen direkt aus dem Stein zu wachsen. Der schmale Pfad dorthin führt über einen uralten Maultierweg, der bis heute der einzige Zugang zu diesem Ort ist.

Die Lousios-Schlucht zeigt sich von oben als tief eingeschnittenes Tal, das sich zwischen steilen Felswänden windet. Jahrtausende hat der Fluss gebraucht, um sich durch das Gestein des arkadischen Hochlands zu graben. Nebel hängt morgens oft zwischen den Hängen, wodurch die Abgründe wie verschleiert wirken. Der Blick hinab reicht weit über Olivenhaine und graue Kalkwände bis zu den entlegenen Winkeln am Grund der Schlucht.
