Tomb Hunters - Rise of the Greeks
44min -
Over the course of just a few months, Egyptian archaeologists discovered more than 60 tombs beneath the ruins of an ancient temple in Saqqara, some holding hundreds of coffins. Most are from around 600 BC, but a recently uncovered one looks different. A series of tests reveal it was buried centuries later, during Egypt's Greek Period. What can this man's mummy tell us about the world he came from and what happened to this necropolis in the last days of ancient Egypt, the age of Cleopatra? The answers may lie inside this magnificent coffin.
