Renowned Egyptian archaeologist and former Minister of Antiquities Zahi Hawass delivered a lecture to employees of Goldman Sachs in New York, one of the world’s largest investment banking and financial services firms, focusing on ancient Egyptian civilisation and the latest archaeological discoveries. At the start of the event, John Rogers, Vice Chair of Goldman Sachs, introduced Hawass to the audience, describing him as the world’s most renowned archaeologist in recognition of his distinguished scientific achievements, international reputation, and the many prestigious awards he has received. Rogers also highlighted Hawass as one of Egypt’s most prominent cultural figures with global recognition. Following the lecture, Hawass took part in a question-and-answer session, responding to employees’ inquiries about the mysteries of ancient Egyptian civilisation and recent archaeological discoveries. The event drew strong interest, with Hawass signing around 500 copies of his latest book, Tutankhamun: From Carter to the Golden City, which was published by an international publishing house with operations in Germany and New York. The lecture followed a special screening, held the previous day, of the documentary The Man with the Hat, which chronicles Hawass’s academic and field career. The film highlights key milestones in his efforts to preserve, document, and promote Egypt’s ancient heritage to audiences around the world.
