Ancient Invisible Cities

Michael Scott employs the latest 3D-scanning technology and virtual reality to reveal the historical secrets of Cairo and Ancient Egypt. He explores the first pyramid ever built at Saqqara and finds out how it helped inspire the Great Pyramid of Giza. With access to robbers' tunnels and hidden chambers normally closed to the public, the presenter uses laser scans to help understand how the pyramids were built and shows how the Great Pyramid was designed and constructed. Michael then investigates the Sphinx and tries to determine which pharaoh is represented in the face of the legendary monument.
