S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Egypt\u2019s\u00a0best-known archaeologist<\/a>, Zahi Hawass (pictured above),<\/em> will be in Brazil next December to deliver lectures in S\u00e3o Paulo and Rio de Janeiro about his latest finds and discoveries. He was responsible for numerous archaeological finds in Egypt, including the tombs of the builders of the Giza Pyramids, the Valley of Golden Mummies in Bahariya Oasis, and the mummy of queen Hatshepsut.<\/p>\n

Hawass\u2019 trip to Brazil is being arranged by Minas Gerais state travel agency H\u00f3rus, which said this will be the archaeologist\u2019s first time in Latin America. His lectures will take place on December 16, 3 pm and December 18, 8 pm at Casa Lucci Morumbi<\/a>,\u00a0in S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s Vila Progredior neighborhood. In Rio, he will speak on December 22, 6 pm at Windsor Barra Hotel\u00a0Windsor Barra Hotel<\/a>,\u00a0in the Barra da Tijuca area.<\/p>\n

The lecture, which he has been touring the world with, is entitled \u201cMummies, Pyramids and Cleopatra: new finds.\u201d Hawass will go over his discovery of the mummy of queen Hatshepsut, the mummies of king Tutankhamun, the mysterious death of Ramses III, new finds in the Great Pyramid (like its secret doors), the tombs found in Saqqara and the search for the grave of queen Cleopatra VII, which is ongoing.<\/p>\n

Zahi Hawass is a former Egyptian minister of Antiquities who became popular worldwide for his movies and documentaries on Egyptian archaeology, aired on channels like BBC, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, History Channel, etc. With over 50 books published, Zahi Hawass was named one of the 100 most influential people on the planet in 2006 by Time magazine.<\/p>\n

H\u00f3rus Viagens is owned by Brazil\u2019s Michelle Bastos and her husband, Egypt\u2019s Sedik Faragalla. They met in 2013 in Greece and lived in Egypt for some time before relocating to Brazil, where they decided to open a tourism industry business in 2016. Faragalla holds a degree in Language and Literature with a major in Egyptology and worked in the industry back in his country. Michelle is a journalist and has created content on tourism in the past.<\/p>\n

H\u00f3rus is based in Juiz de Fora and specializes in Egypt. When it comes to Middle East destinations, it also works as a tour operator, creating travel packages. For trips elsewhere, it operates as a travel agency.<\/p>\n

According to Michelle, the idea of bringing Hawass to speak in Brazil came up during a conversation with Egyptologist Fl\u00e1via Haddad, to whom she got introduced by her husband\u2019s Egyptian uncle Ali Ghoneim. Ghoneim is close with Hawass and owns a travel company in Egypt, Moon River, which is partners with H\u00f3rus Viagens. \u201cHe said he\u2019d never been to Latin America and thought it was a great idea,\u201d Michelle said.<\/p>\n
