Tra il Settecento e l'Ottocento, l'Egitto fu lo scenario delle prime grandi campagne archeologiche dell'età moderna. A esplorare le bellezze dell'antica terra dei faraoni arrivarono personaggi figli di un'epoca movimentata e romantica: lestofanti, tombaroli e avventurieri si mischiarono a storici, eruditi e scienziati, e anzi capitava spesso che alcuni fossero tutto questo insieme. Nel novero di questi cercatori di tesori giganteggia la figura di un italiano, un uomo entrato a buon diritto tra i pionieri dell'archeologia. Il suo nome è Giovanni Battista Belzoni. È di lui che vi parliamo in questa puntata: Belzoni ha legato la propria fama a diverse imprese degne di nota, ma una delle più impressionanti fu il ritrovamento, nella Valle dei Re, di una tomba decorata da pitture così belle da farle guadagnare il nome di “Cappella Sistina dell'antico Egitto”.
Giovanni Battista Belzoni è ampiamente noto a tutti coloro che sono interessati alla cultura faraonica. L'italiano alto due metri e di corporatura robusta lavorò come uomo forte del circo a Londra e si recò in Egitto per vendere una pompa di irrigazione al viceré Mohamed Ali nel 1816. Una volta nel paese del Nilo, si interessò alle antichità egiziane e lavorò come un "cercatore" per il console britannico Sir Henry Salt. Infatti, l'esploratore italiano fece importanti scoperte durante il suo soggiorno in Egitto : la tomba di Seti I, la più bella della Valle dei Re, da dove l'elaborato sarcofago fu portato a Londra; entrò anche nella tomba di Ramses I nella Valle dei Re; Entrò nella piramide di Kefren, la seconda più grande della pianura di Giza , essendo il primo uomo in tempi moderni a farlo; entrò anche nella piramide di Micerino; #GiovanniBattistaBelzoni #SetiI #RamsesII #ValledeiRE #nticoEgitto
Sullo sfondo di una rivalità sempre più aspra con il Console Generale per parte Francese, Bernardino Drovetti, continuiamo a raccontare altre incredibili imprese di Giovanni Battista Belzoni (1778-1823), avventuriero e pioniere, allora ingaggiato dal Console inglese Henry Salt: il trasporto del "Giovane Memnon" da Luxor al Cairo; le esplorazioni presso l'antica città di Tebe e lungo tutto il corso del Nilo; lo scavo del Tempio Maggiore di Abu Simbel; l'appropriazione per conto dell'Inghilterra, presso l'isola di File, di un'obelisco che sarà fondamentale per la decifrazione dei geroglifici; la scoperta delle tombe reali di Ay, Montuherkhepeshef, Ramesse I e Sethi I; la scoperta dell'ingresso della piramide di Chefren, rimasta inviolata dal XIII secolo.

Giovanni Battista Belzoni (1778-1823) è stato una Voce originalissima dell'Egittologia. Avventuriero per antonomasia, Belzoni fu un personaggio emblematico dell'epoca in cui visse. In questo episodio raccontiamo di lui, di come -complice il caso o il destino- arrivò in Egitto, accompagnato da coloro che lo seguirono, instancabili, in tutte le sue avventure: sua moglie Sarah e il loro giovane assistente James Curtin. Senza dimenticare la rocambolesca vicenda che lega questo gigante ad un'altro: Ramesse II. Bibliografia: G.

Si no sabes quién es es que no te interesó realmente la egiptología. Aunque los métodos de Giovanni hoy día serían más que discutibles, así como su manera de trabajar, en aquellos años es lo que había y nadie protegía lo que en Egipto se encontraba. En cualquier caso a él le debemos descubrimientos importantes, gracias a su arrojo y la empatía que consiguió de los ladrones de tumbas. Veamos su biografía.

"Quattro illustri viaggiatori italiani oggi dimenticati " di David Riondino
Giovanni Battista Belzoni (1778-1823). Per qualcuno rude tombarolo, per molti il prototipo dell' archeologo avventuroso, esotico, coraggioso e dalla vita leggendaria. Faraoni e sepolcri egizi sono riemersi dall'oblio grazie a lui, che dell'oblio della storia, poi, è stato vittima, dopo una fine imprevista, come la sua vita.
The protagonist of today’s story discovered ancient tombs, explored secret passages inside pyramids and recovered artefacts as old as time - while getting into fistfights, foiling assassination attempts with his trusty whip, dodging bullets amongst Egyptian ruins and facing the opposition of a French rival.
"Quattro illustri viaggiatori italiani oggi dimenticati " di David Riondino
One of the most bizarre and mysterious cultures in human history, ancient Egypt still holds considerable interest for us today. This was even more true in the 1810s, not long after battles between France and Britain in the region of the Nile brought European travelers, scholars and opportunists to the desert to hunt for ancient Egyptian artifacts. One of the most notorious of these characters was Giovanni Battista Belzoni, a former barber and circus strong man who in 1815 became the go-to guy for British agents seeking to make a killing on selling Egyptian artifacts back in Europe. Belzoni’s incredible run of luck in the tomb raiding business, especially in October 1817, resulted in the discovery of numerous undiscovered and forgotten tombs in the Valley of the Kings, bringing to light their mysteries and questions that have lingered for the past 3,000 years. In this episode of Second Decade, Dr. Sean Munger will trace the rise of Europe’s interest in Egypt, why the 1810s was such a crucial part of that story, and the discoveries on (and under) the ground that still tantalize us today. You’ll meet not only the audacious character of “The Great Belzoni,” but an ambitious and superstitious Ottoman prince, a wily British agent seeking to move as much loot as possible from the land of the pharaohs to the British Museum, and an Egyptian king who left behind over 800 wooden servants to work for him in the afterlife. Dr. Munger also has a rare occasion to share a story from his own childhood, one of his very first encounters with history.

Acabamos de cumplir 80 años de la destrucción de la ciudad de Guernica, el 26 de abril de 1937. Xavier Irujo, autor de "Guernica", nos acerca este momento oscuro de nuestra historia, haciéndose eco de los documentos y los testimonios que han llegado hasta nosotros. Javier Sierra en su Cronovisor nos descubre la figura de Giovanni Battista Belzoni, el forzudo de circo que consiguió convertirse en protoegiptólogo en el siglo XIX. Javier Gomez Molero es autor de la novela "La caricia de la serpiente", en la que se recrean los primeros años de vida de Nerón, un personaje denostado por una suerte de leyenda negra que ha llegado hasta nosotros. Rafael Ramos es uno de los mayores expertos en España del mundo ibérico, acaba de publicar "Los iberos. Imágenes y mitos de Iberia", un extraordinario trabajo que nos acerca a la religiosidad de los antiguos iberos. María Belchi en su sección de cine nos trae el cine de aventuras.
En nuestro programa de hoy viajamos al Egipto de principios del siglo XIX para descubrir cómo eran los primeros arqueólogos que fueron al Valle del Nilo. Javier Sierra, autor de "La pirámide inmortal", nos cuenta cómo fue la expedición de Napoleón de 1798 y el resultado de sus trabajos científicos a principios del XIX. Luego, el egiptólogo José Miguel Parra nos acerca la vida de nuestro protagonista principal, Giovanni Battista Belzoni. Aprovechando la publicación de "Confluencias de su obra al castellano", el Dr. Parra nos habla de su vida de aventuras y descubrimientos en Egipto. Recuperamos de nuestro archivo la dramatización del desciframiento de los jeroglíficos por parte de Jean-François Champollion.
