DISCOVERY CHANNEL’S
Josh
Gates
TO APPEAR AT EXPO
As the host of Discovery Channel’s smash- hit series Expedition Unknown, adventurer and explorer Josh Gates crisscrosses the globe to explore archaeological wonders and enduring legends. Armed with a daring passion for adventure and his signature sense of humor, Gates takes viewers on thrilling quests in search of answers to the world’s greatest mysteries.
Recently, Gates helmed
an unprecedented live
event in the deserts of
Egypt when viewers from
95 countries around the
world witnessed history in
the making in Expedition
Unknown: Egypt Live.
This adventure gave
viewers a rare opportunity
to join an actual archeological excavation in real time as Gates worked alongside world- renowned Egyptologist, Dr. Zahi Hawass and Dr. Mostafa Waziri, the Secretary- General of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities. Together, they uncovered the 2,500-year-old mummy of a high priest for the first time ever on live television.
In his latest season, Gates braved sub- zero temperatures to snowmobile across
Siberia investigating one of the coldest cases of the Cold War: the baffling deaths of nine hikers on Russia’s infamous “Dead Mountain.” Gates also explored the
Holy Land as he descended into newly discovered caves and tunnels that could hold the next Dead Sea Scrolls.
An avid adventurer, scuba diver, and photographer, Gates has participated in sub-sea archaeological excavations in the Mediterranean, and his wanderlust has taken him to over 100 countries - from sweltering African deserts to the icy shores
of Antarctica. In addition, he has scaled “the roof of Africa” on Mt. Kilimanjaro and climbed Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in the Americas. A mysterious “Yeti” footprint recovered by Gates in the Himalayas is now on display at the “Expedition Everest” attraction at Walt Disney’s Animal Kingdom in
Orlando, Florida.
While at the EXPO, Gates will share behind- the-scenes tales from the Discovery Channel as well as provide insights from some of his most memorable excursions. He will also provide tips on how to turn
any vacation into the journey of a lifetime. Gates will be available to answer questions and sign autographs following his stage appearance.
Back by popular demand, Josh Gates, host of Discovery Channel’s Expedition Unknown will appear at the EXPO at Noon on Sunday, February 9.
