Focusing on three of the most important discoveries from the world of the ancient Egyptians, Egypt journeys back in time to explore Howard Carter's discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, the Great Belzoni's finds from the reign of Ramesses II and Champollion's deciphering of the hieroglyphs. Join the three great explorers in this fascinating drama-documentary series as they overcome immense obstacles to unlock the secrets of an as yet undiscovered world. Discover the secrets, the myths and the truth behind one of the greatest civilizations in history - an ancient world nearly lost beneath the sand. (official distributor synopsis)
