French Amb. Hosts Diplomats for Special Dinner, Lecture on Major Pyramid Discovery
Ahmed Emam
French Ambassador Éric Chevalier hosted a dinner at the French Institute in Al-Muneira, bringing together 30 high-ranking diplomats from the "Cleopatra Group," a cultural initiative founded by prominent Egyptian archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass.
The event was also attended by Dr. Khaled El-Anany, Egypt's candidate for the position of UNESCO Director-General.
Hawass expressed his deep gratitude to H.E. Chevalier for organizing this special evening, which brought together key members of the archaeological and diplomatic communities.
The evening featured a lecture by Dr. Pierre Tallet, Director of the French Institute, who presented his groundbreaking discovery of the "Wadi al-Jarf papyri".
Found in 2013 at the entrance of galleries 1 and 2, the collection of ancient papyri was hidden among stone blocks used to seal the galleries after the completion of work.
Dr. Hawass described the Wadi al-Jarf papyri as "the most significant archaeological discovery of the 21st century". The documents reveal critical details about the construction methods of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the laborers who built it, and provide strong evidence affirming that the ancient Egyptians — not a lost civilization — constructed the pyramids, dispelling long-standing myths about hidden cities beneath the Sphinx.
