Ancient Egypt, 4700 years ago. Revolution is brewing - and the most ambitious building project on the planet sets off a chain of transformative events
Witness the evolution of pyramid building--and Egypt itself--as we examine Pharaoh Snefru and his three massive monuments.
Discover the story of the pharaoh, the rituals, and the workforce behind the ancient wonder, the Great Pyramid of Giza.
At Giza, the notorious pharaoh, Khufu – the son of Snefru and Queen Heterpheres I - is running out of time to complete his great pyramid. Recently unearthed ancient diaries of one of the stone workers reveal exactly how this magnificent edifice was completed and what happened when Khufu died, four-and-a-half thousand years ago.
In ancient Egypt the legendary pharaoh Khufu is now dead. Who will succeed the builder of the greatest pyramid in history? Now Egyptologists think that investigating the turmoil of the succession could solve one of ancient history’s most enduring mysteries: the riddle of the Sphinx. This is a story of lies, betrayals and history’s most enigmatic statue.
A series of legendary pharaohs have built the most iconic monuments in history. Generations of builders have toiled on these giant pyramids, transforming the country and uniting its people in the hope of guaranteeing eternal life for their pharaoh. But cracks in the country’s unity are beginning to show. Religious transformation, climate change, and a weak pharaoh bring the age of the pyramid builders to an abrupt end.
