Cameras follow archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass as he manages 250 digs throughout Egypt, and are on hand to capture a first look at his new finds.
S1 E1: Stuck
Zahi is supervising the restoration of the Step Pyramid, the oldest in Egypt, and helping him out are the members of his fellowship programme.
S1 E2: Trapped
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.
S1 E3: Lost
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!
S1 E4: Discovered
When army manoeuvres shut down the team's journey to restore an ancient minaret, they take a treacherous journey through the White Desert to camp in an oasis. Zahi makes friends with the local Bedouins, who feed the starving group.
S1 E5: Sunken
Discovering the final resting place of Cleopatra is a lifelong passion for many an archaeologist. Now Zahi has permitted some to dive into the Mediterranean Sea and bring up a nine-ton pylon that is a confirmed part of her shrine.
S1 E6: Robbed
Zahi makes it clear to the world community that every major Egyptian artefact must be returned, and so a missing piece of an offering table is headed back to Karnak Temple from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
S1 E7: Meltdown
It's early morning in Saqqara and Zahi is getting ready to open two sealed tombs for the first time in thousands of years, but Zoe is late again and his patience is wearing thin.
S1 E8: Bats
Zahi is determined to disprove the theories of the so-called 'pyramidiots', who believe that there are secret underground chambers leading to the Sphinx. Little did anyone know that these caves were home to thousands of bats!
S1 E9: Cursed
Zahi wants to see if the long-forgotten Falcon Galleries can be restored as a new tourist destination. Inside, not only are there thousands of mummified birds, but deadly snakes and scorpions, too!
S1 E10: Buried
Deep in the Egyptian sand, Zahi make the extraordinary discovery of five intact burials and, just as he thinks things couldn't get any better, he unearths a brutally murdered mummy.
