Egyptian Tomb Hunting Series 1
TV Mini-Series Actor, comedian and history buff Tony Robinson travels across Egypt, where a series of incredible new tomb discoveries are being made. He travels the length of the Nile meeting the archaeologists unearthing extraordinary wonders.
Part 1
Tony Robinson is going all Indiana Jones, scrabbling around archaeological excavations by the Nile and getting very muddy. We see him wandering around the great ancient Egyptian monuments in Giza and Luxor, but it’s far more interesting to follow him as he becomes one of the first laymen to catch sight of new discoveries being made in previously unexplored tombs. Like the dozens of pots containing the detritus of a mummification process - including an accidentally discarded major organ that Tony’s pleased as punch to get to hold - or the exquisitely carved but unfinished entranceway to the home for eternity of an ancient local dignitary.
