The American University in Cairo is hosting a lecture by renowned Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass to celebrate the release of the paperback edition of his book, “Mountains of the Pharaohs: The Untold Story of the Pyramid Builders.” The event is scheduled for Monday, October 8, from 7 to 8 PM at Ewart Memorial Hall at the university’s Tahrir Square campus.
Dr. Hawass’s book delves into the stories of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt’s Old Kingdom, a period marked by the construction of the iconic Giza Pyramids.
