Description
Who actually built the pyramids? What innovations enabled the ancient Egyptians to practice mummification? Why did they select certain treasures for their journeys to the afterlife? This classic program travels to a land of mystery and marvel as archaeologists investigate the secrets of long-lost Pharaonic culture and technology. Viewers encounter the sophisticated methods used to construct the pyramids, the long-lost rituals and preparations involved in mummification (as demonstrated on a present-day cadaver), and the underground vault that still houses the mysterious ship of the Pharaoh Khufu: his magnificent vessel for eternity.
