Exciting Archaeological Discoveries From Ancient Egypt | Bbc Timestamp

The ancient Egyptians have fascinated us for centuries, and according to one scientist, Dr Sarah Parcak, the astonishing antiquities already discovered are just a tiny percentage of what was left behind.

Here, we unearth some of Ancient Egypt's greatest mysteries – from the missing tombs of Egypt's first kings to the hidden secrets of the Great Pyramid of Giza - and see how archaeological discoveries are forcing us to rethink what we thought we knew about this period.

This is a compilation of clips from Egypt's Lost Cities (2011). You can watch the full documentary series in the UK on BBC iPlayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b011pwms/egypts-lost-cities
