“Tutankhamun’s Treasures and Mysteries” – Book Signing @ Budapest

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , .

The Egyptian  well known Mr. Zahi Hawass, Professor of Archeology – Egyptologist  held a book signing of  his latest, “Tutankhamun’s treasures and mysteries”… subheading … from Howard Carter to DNA., at the Paris Court of Budapest Hotel on the occasion of Hungary’s first official publication of the album. Over two hundred people were curiously waiting to see him in person on the occasion of book signing  which was Hungary’s first official publication of the book. Upon arrival the world-famous archeology professor was greeted with great enthusiasm by lovers of the history of Egypt’s mysteries of mummies.

By its weight is a heavy album which contains a huge historical overview of “our long forgotten past.” The album takes its readers along the sophisticated paths of scientific research and legend in a captivating high-quality compilation. The weight of the book is less than the contents therein.  He believes that Egyptian culture belongs to everyone. It is not only for tourists, but also for all those who help to raise awareness and protect the Egyptian treasures of the World Heritage.

The professor of archeology also presents the results of his new research over the past two years. In his view, the current exploration is significant because it is the first time an ancient “industrial site” has been explored. 30 workshops, ancient warehouse buildings, and many 3500-year-old ceramic items were brought to light by the professor.

According to Hawass he is convinced that the best of the Eastern European Egyptologists come from Hungary, including László Kákossy. As he said, there was only one mistake he committed being once persuaded to buy something antique, which was not later known not to be… he said with a wide smile on his face.

Last but not least the professor stated:

“I will find Cleopatra’s tomb … To show the World!”

Well hope and wishing him success!

Making those summer and winter storage months much easier without the pain to get rid of something and avoid to deal with those stressful hours.  People will reach more secure storage space with the selection of containers of various sizes. It would be just as having an own second garage. Office Storage containers … There are many reasons why business needs space, personal possessions, such as  to store equipment, file, stocks or a meeting room for that last-minute appointment. On the spot there are experts in providing tailor made solutions for requirements. Accommodation containers … Placing home furniture into storage is really handy especially in times when do not know where to place the home belongings,  moving home, redecorating, renovating or simply looking to free up some space.

They knew the titanium is precious metal. These containers are not made of Tianium, but well fit to be name of the characteristic force it holds.  Also spoke about the foundation by her father Layland Barker in 1987. Since then TITAN has become perhaps the largest privately owned company supplying shipping and storage containers for a vast multitude of applications.
