Egypt's Lost Secrets: The Grand Tour of the Pharaohs

Editor's Take

Framed as a tour of the Giza plateau, this hour leans on recent excavation and scanning work rather than the usual speculation. It is a good entry point if you want the pharaohs and the pyramids at a brisk pace, without the ancient-astronaut detours that clutter so much Egypt programming.

This sweeping documentary steps onto the Giza Plateau to explore five thousand years of Egyptian civilization. It follows the latest archaeological discoveries in a grand tour of temples, tombs, and monuments, uncovering the lost secrets of the pharaohs. Experts piece together how this remarkable culture rose and endured. Richly detailed and immersive, it is a rewarding journey into ancient Egypt. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
