Chasing Mummies

Zahi is supervising the restoration of the Step Pyramid, the oldest in Egypt, and helping him out are the members of his fellowship programme.

Zahi journeys in to the Five Chambers with the fellows in tow. Together they will document the ancient graffiti on the walls of the Chambers, proving Zahi's theory that ancient Egyptians, not slaves, built the Pyramids at Giza.

Zahi uncovers a cache of mummies at a dig site at Saqqara and discovers a rare and important piece of Egyptian history: a beautiful anthropoid sarcophagus from the 26th Dynasty!

Zahi makes it clear to the world community that every important Egyptian artefact must be returned to Egypt, and so a missing piece of an offering table is headed back to Karnak Temple from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
