Death of the Pyramids

Nonfiction • TV-14 • Directed by: Lost Treasures of Egypt • 44 minutes

Archaeologists search for clues to explain why ancient Egyptians abandoned pyramids just a few centuries after the first was built. The hunt takes them from the original pyramid, across the desert to the Red Sea, while inscriptions discovered inside the tombs of pharaohs reveal the threats royal mummies faced. Meanwhile, a 4,000-year-old tomb is dug out of the sands in Egypt’s far south.
