American television presenter and explorer Josh Gates in Egypt | Scroll.InGates’s next expedition is one of his most ambitious ones yetAmerican television presenter Josh Gates, who digs for hidden treasures and ancient mysteries across the world in his popular show “Expedition Unknown,” is often called a real-life Indiana Jones. Gates doesn’t mind the comparison to the Hollywood-created archaeologist and explorer played by Harrison Ford. “I am not going to argue with that,” Gates told Scroll.in over the phone from Los Angeles. Next week, Gates will open an Egyptian sarcophagus (a stone coffin) and explore a network of ancient tombs in a two-hour live television event. In Expedition Unknown: Egypt Live, Gates will be accompanied by Egyptologist Zahi Hawass and Mostafa Waziri, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt.
