Zahi Hawas and David Diamante

Two personalities who are true world leaders in their fields recently visited Bilbao: the Egyptologist Zahi Hawas and the ring announcer David Diamante.

Zahi Hawas, egyptologist

HAWAS celebrated his 75th birthday in Bilbao, where he arrived from Cairo to present the International Center of Archaeology named after him that is opening its doors in the Biscayan capital, the second after the central one located in Alexandria. “I love this city; it is full of very respectful people, interested in Egyptian culture and civilisation”, he revealed.

The former Minister of Antiquities of Egypt and world personality of the dissemination of the civilisation of the pyramids through National Geographic or Netflix and discoverer of cities and tombs, was able to enjoy in Bilbao his fondness for good gastronomy.

On the other hand, the undoubtedly member of the ring announcer’s hall of fame, DAVID DIAMANTE, came to the capital of Biscay to present a great boxing event that the English promoter Matchroom organized in the Bilbao Arena and which was broadcast by DAZN all over the world.

The North American speaker had been the voice, a week earlier, of the Canelo vs Bivol event in Las Vegas. The Basque Country is “a very beautiful and incredible part of the world with some of the best cuisine. More pintxos, please!”, claimed the global boxing personality to the local press. “I have been fortunate enough to visit this land before.

I ran the bulls in Pamplona three times and I was able to spend time here,” he added before concluding that “I’ve been to Pamplona three times and I was able to spend time here. “the Basques are one of the oldest ethnic groups in Europe and their language is also one of the oldest languages spoken today; a very beautiful and incredible part of the world with one of the best cuisines.”.

Thank you both very much
