Dr. Zahi Hawass brings over five decades of adventure and exploration to life in his only UK lecture of 2026.
"My upcoming lecture in London will be the first time I speak about my excavation and the discoveries we’ve made in the Valley of the Kings. We are currently searching for the tomb of Ankhesenamun, the widow of Tutankhamun, and I believe she may be buried in the West Valley. Major discoveries are on the horizon, and I’ll be sharing all of this for the first time in London."
