Synopsis

In the 19th century, Egypt is the scene of an archaeological Wild West where the great European powers clashes over the treasures of the pharaohs. In this immersive docu-fiction, we follow the thrilling adventures of legendary figures like Champollion, Belzoni, Lepsius, Denon, and Mariette. These pioneers of Egyptology, navigating the fine line between scientific discovery and treasure hunting, explored the wonders of Giza, Luxor, and Abu Simbel.

With stunning 3D reconstructions and fictional scenes, this extraordinary archaeological saga comes to life. Today's archaeologists compare their discoveries with those of the daring first adventurers of ancient Egypt.
