Tecnologie come la fotogrammetria, gli endoscopi, l'imaging iperspettrale per immergerci nella storia di Saqqara e le tombe dei faraoni.

On the mythical site of Saqqara, the Apis bulls were buried for more than a thousand years in the immense underground necropolis of the Serapheum. Discovered in 1850 by the French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette, this place shelters a treasure of which a part is preserved in the Louvre. The collapse of the ceiling of one of the galleries had however prevented the archaeologist from venturing into the entire necropolis. More than 170 years later, the museum's Egyptologists are continuing the work of their famous predecessor. Investigating the cult of the Apis bull and the mysterious rituals that surrounded it, the team is especially looking for access to the unexplored parts, which have at least eight burial chambers, with the hope of finding intact tombs.

Professor Bettany Hughes takes viewers on a journey of discovery as she investigates 10 of the greatest and most intriguing Egyptian mummies - and the secrets that lie beneath the bandages.

Around 800 BC, Kush, a little-known subject state of Egypt, rose up and conquered the Egyptians, enthroned its own Pharaohs, and ruled over the empire of King Tut for nearly 100 years. This unlikely chapter of history has been buried by the Egyptians and belittled by early archaeologists, who refused to believe that dark skinned Africans could have risen so high. But now, in the heart of Sudan, archeologists Geoff Emberling and Tim Kendall are bringing the truth about the Black Pharaohs to life.

Alcuni di loro si dirigeranno verso gli Stati Uniti e Parigi, dove saranno esposti alla Cite' des Sciences et de l'Industries nell'autunno del 2018 - e poi a Londra, Berlino, Tokyo e Sidney.

It's a land of pyramids, gold, and ancient treasure, but it's not Egypt. It's present-day Sudan, once home to the glorious kingdom of Kush. Now, archaeologists are using every means possible - from robots to rock climbers - in their search for clues about this long-neglected culture. Once the Kushites filled the pharaohs' coffers with gold and, for a time, they even ruled over all of Egypt, but only now is their real story beginning to emerge.

Khufu può essere ricordato soprattutto per l'iconica Grande Piramide di Giza, ma gli egittologi di questo documentario mirano a scoprire di più su come gli antichi egizi lavoravano, al di fuori delle piramidi.

It is possible that only one per cent of the wonders of ancient Egypt have been discovered, but now, thanks to a pioneering approach to archaeology, that is about to change. Dr. Sarah Parcak uses satellites to probe beneath the sands, where she has found cities, temples and pyramids. Now, with Dallas Campbell and Liz Bonnin, she heads to Egypt to discover if these magnificent buildings are really there.

Verdi’s grand opera “Aida” is given an intimate treatment in Busetto, Italy, in 2001, in a staging with young singers, all coached by the legendary tenor Carlo Bergonzi and staged by Franco Zeffirelli. The result is an astonishing musical and dramatic piece of theater, proving that with the right mix of ingredients, an opera can be staged in a small theater and still achieve a thrilling and moving effect.

The Great Pyramids are the only wonder of the ancient world that still stand today, the greatest of which is the pyramid of Khufu. Many theories have been offered to explain its construction, but none as convincing or unique as this one.

Hosted by Charlton Heston, it explores the possibility that the Sphinx maybe older than expected. John Anthony West examines that water erosion on the Sphinx can pre-date it to 10,000 years old?. Other mysteries such as how they moved 200 ton stone blocks to build the pyramids, the secret chambers under the Sphinx and the links to the pyramids that are suggested on Mars.

Scampato alla strage dei primogeniti ebrei, il piccolo Mosè viene allevato come un vero egiziano, ma quando scopre le sue origini rinuncia a tutto per condividere le sofferenze del suo popolo. Ma solo dopo l'invio delle terribili sette piaghe il faraone accetta di lasciarli partire. Più tardi, pentitosi di aver ceduto, li insegue con il suo esercito, ma viene inghiottito dal Mar Rosso. Mosé, dopo aver ricevuto le tavole della Legge, muore, ormai vecchio, vedendo soltanto da lontano la Terra Promessa. Il film è diventato l'esempio per eccellenza dei kolossal. Particolarmente sontuosi, per l'epoca, gli effetti speciali (premiati con l'Oscar) e l'uso che De Mille fa del Cinemascope.
