Kingdom of the Mummies

In the ancient Egyptian necropolis of Saqqara, archaeologist Dr. Ramadan Hussein and his team uncover a unique underground tomb complex. It hides the secrets of ancient Egypt's first fully intact funeral home. Follow the team as they explore the subterranean chambers and open the sealed, 2,600-year-old sarcophagi and sacred burial relics, unlocking secrets forgotten since the age of the pharaohs.

In the newly excavated burial complex at Saqqara, one chamber holds a single sarcophagus while the rest are packed with mummies. Dr. Ramadan Hussein and his team face their biggest challenge yet as they battle to lift the 5-ton lid and reveal the mummy within. Using forensic investigation techniques and the latest technology, what secrets can they learn about the tomb's 2,600-year-old owner?

Archaeology is like detective work, and never more so than when you discover a 13-ton sarcophagus with its seal broken, and a lid that isn't flush with the base. From the gaps in the mortar, Dr. Ramadan Hussein has a hunch that the lid was removed and replaced in antiquity. But why? Hussein and his team investigate the evidence at this potential crime scene to discover what — or who — remains inside.

In the very deepest level of the tomb complex, Dr. Ramadan Hussein and his team discover two priests buried side by side. The investigation is a roller-coaster ride filled with glittering riches, wealthy priests and the worship of a long-lost serpent goddess. But something doesn't quite add up. Only the latest technology will reveal whether these priests are exactly what — or who — they seem.
