NARRATOR: Egypt, the richest
source of archaeological
treasures on the planet.

SALIMA: Oh, that's
a fabulous one.

NARRATOR: Beneath
this desert landscape

lie the secrets of this
ancient civilization.

JOHN: Wow, can you see why
the Pharaohs chose this place.

NARRATOR: Now for a full
season of excavation,

our cameras have
unprecedented access

to follow teams on the
frontline of archaeology.

ASHRAF: I'm driving so fast
because I'm so excited.

WOMAN: It's an entrance,
we can see an entrance.

NARRATOR: Revealing
buried secrets...

MAN: I have just
been told that they
have found something.

MAN: Oh my gosh.

JOHN: A sphinx!

NARRATOR: And making
discoveries that could
rewrite ancient history.

This time, the pyramids
reveal startling new secrets.

Ashraf makes an
incredible discovery in
a 4,500 year-old tomb.

ASHRAF: I feel there is
something down there.

Something is waiting for us.

NARRATOR: Iwona is on the
hunt for human remains.

IWONA: This is a lovely left
foot, so we've got a pair.

NARRATOR: And John
unlocks the secrets of

the oldest known tomb in
the Valley of the Kings.

JOHN: I'm truly in the final
resting place of a Pharaoh.

NARRATOR: Rising out
of the Egyptian desert
stand some of the most

magnificent monuments
in human history...

the Giza Pyramids.

Constructed from around
five million stone blocks,

and standing up
to 480-feet tall,

these are where the Pharaohs
of ancient Egypt entombed

their mummified bodies
and priceless treasures.

Each giant pyramid is a grand
tomb and place of worship

built to ensure the
memory of the Pharaohs

Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure
would never be forgotten.

ASHRAF: Stop here Hamid
and we wanna get our
drone on the pyramid.

NARRATOR: In charge of
this ancient site is

Director of the Giza
Pyramids, Ashraf Mohie.

ASHRAF: You see
this is my office.

I work as an Egyptologist
more than 20 years.

I envy myself to be
working here, you know,
near by the pyramid.

NARRATOR: Ashraf has
recently made a remarkable
discovery in the shadow of

the Menkaure pyramid,
the last to be built by
the Pharaohs in Giza.

He's taking to the skies to
survey his excavation site.

ASHRAF: So, I can
see the pyramid from
the top over here.

Can we get closer
to the temple?

NARRATOR: Next to
the entrance of
Menkaure's pyramid,

are the remains of a grand
temple and cluster of tombs.

ASHRAF: It has been surrounded
by tombs for high officials.

Everybody, you know wanted
to have the honor to have
his tomb nearby Menkaure.

NARRATOR: Ashraf is excavating one of these tombs.

Its location was
first documented by the
American archaeologist

George Reisner over
a century ago.

ASHRAF: Reisner, he started
to work here in 1907,
but he didn't go inside.

He didn't find the entrance.

He just dig for few
days, that's it.

So, we continued the work,
we found the entrance.

We are working now in the
shafts, we started with
the first one over there,

we got the edges and
the workers, they are
working down there.

NARRATOR: Reisner did
not excavate this tomb.

Ashraf and his team will be
the first archaeologists to
enter it in over 4,500 years.

ASHRAF: We're going to work
down step by step to see if
there is something in the

sands or not there.

I'm so honored to be here
between the pyramids.

It's my life time
dream to dig.

It's going to be
something very important
for every Egyptologist

at the pyramids area.

NARRATOR: Menkaure ruled Egypt for over two decades and like his father and grandfather,

he built a pyramid as
his final resting place.

His stands at the center of
a grand cemetery where only

those closest to
him could be buried.

So, the tomb Ashraf
has unearthed must be
for someone important.

It appears to be a flat-roofed structure called a Mastaba.

On top, two shaft openings
suggest it could hide more
than one burial chamber.

But any bodies won't be
found inside the Mastaba,

they'll be deep beneath it...

in solid bedrock.

ASHRAF: I want to go deeper
and see what it is going
to be inside the shaft.

We will see at the bottom
if there is a chamber and
a sarcophagus down there.

NARRATOR: Menkaure would
be the last Pharaoh to
build a pyramid at Giza.

4000 years ago, they
were suddenly abandoned.

The answer to why
the Pharaohs deserted
the pyramids may lie

300 miles south, in the
Valley of the Kings.

Hidden within these remote
cliffs is the final resting
place of some of Egypt's

greatest and most
famous Pharaohs.

JOHN: Mr. Mahmood?
MAHMOOD: Hi, yes.

MAHMOOD: Yes, everything.

[speaking Arabic].

NARRATOR: Here, British archaeologist John Ward, is investigating why the Pharaohs

stopped building pyramids
and decided to be buried
in this secret location.

JOHN: We're on the way to
one of the oldest tombs
here in the Valley,

its where it all began.

You lead the way.

NARRATOR: Dangerous
and unstable, tomb K-V-20
is closed to the public

and has not been
excavated since 1904.

JOHN: There we go Sir.

NARRATOR: Despite the
risks, John has been
granted special permission

to investigate inside...

JOHN: Open Sesame as they say!

NARRATOR: And will attempt
to navigate the dark and
crumbling corridors to reach

the burial chamber, hidden
over 320 feet below ground.

JOHN: Beneath our feet
lies an intricate warren of
engineering masterpieces,

where tunnels, chambers
and pits are all designed
to create a space in which

Pharaohs can
achieve immortality.

NARRATOR: The Valley of
the Kings is a remote
limestone gorge...

and in a secluded corner is
one of the first tombs to
be carved into the Valley.

Built for the powerful
Pharaoh Thutmose the
first, 3,500 years ago,

ancient engineers chiseled
a long and narrow corridor

that plunges over 320
feet underground...

to a secret burial chamber.

Here, the body of the
Pharaoh was placed in
a giant sarcophagus,

so that hidden from sight,
the King with his treasures

could hope to rest in
peace for eternity.

JOHN: One of the things
Mahmood that I'm feeling
as we're walking down,

you really get that sense
that you're climbing down
into the underworld!

NARRATOR: Building a tomb
could take years and required
a village of workers.

JOHN: Look at that. Okay.

It must have been
awful down here.

To have carried up all
of this chiseled flaky
limestone and the dust.

I mean we're just walking here
and I'm breathing the dust in.

It must have been hell!

NARRATOR: John has
been descending into the
darkness for over 45 minutes,

but he still hasn't reached
the burial chamber.

JOHN: Wow! This shaft
just continues.

NARRATOR: Above ground,
a team of over 170 workers
is excavating an area

known as the Valley
of the Nobles.

It contains the tombs of
ancient Egypt's social elite,

important enough to be
buried close to the Pharaohs.

ANDREA: So, I will lead you up
the excavation site right now.

NARRATOR: Egyptologist
Andrea Loprieno-Gnirs
from Basel University,

has been investigating
this site for 16 years.

ANDREA: We really feel
very privileged to have the
opportunity to work here.

We want to learn more
about who used this tomb,
who entered the tomb,

who maybe planned the tomb,
who used them for burials and
who used them for living,

over the long-time span.

NARRATOR: This season, Andrea
and her team are clearing

tons of earth and
rubble from the tombs.

In one tomb called
T-T-95 they've made
an exciting discovery.

ANDREA: It's quite
a huge coffin chamber
cut into the bedrock.

Among the material
that was still left
by the tomb robbers,

we came upon painted
pottery vessels

that bear the name and
the title of Hunai.

NARRATOR: Inscriptions on the
pottery suggest a noble woman
called Hunai was buried here.

But who was she and
what was her connection
to the Pharaohs?

To answer this, the team is searching for Hunai's remains.

But she's not the
only one here.

This tomb was re-used
by others to bury their dead

and contains hundreds
of body parts.

Robbers ripped the
bodies apart in search
of gold and amulets

wrapped in the mummies.

Finding Hunai will take
a forensic investigation.

IWONA: One ear
preserved, there's no
jaw just a fragment.

NARRATOR: In charge of analyzing these human remains, is British bio-archaeologist,

Iwona Kozieradzka-Ogunmakin.

IWONA: I've worked in
Egypt 13 years I think,

so I've got substantial
experience with this
kind of material.

This is a lovely left foot.

When I'm sometimes asked
what I do, I'm kind of
hesitant to say because

there's usually two
types of reaction I get.

One is urghhh, and the
other is oh really!

I suppose it's
not for everybody.

NARRATOR: Finding Hunai's
remains is like looking
for a needle in a haystack.

IWONA: There you go,
that's the left arm.

We estimate the minimum
number of individuals
to be just over 80.

That's quite a big number
really when you think about
an adult individual having

206 bones and imagine the
skeleton is dispersed.

Every site has different
challenges and this one
is definitely challenging.

So, we've got torsos with no
arms or no legs, or heads.

NARRATOR: 300 miles
North, at the pyramids...

ASHRAF: This is the
last of the sands that's
coming out from the shaft.

NARRATOR: Ashraf and his
team have been digging
for two days to locate

the burial chamber in
this unexcavated tomb.

ASHRAF: It should be
there is something here.

NARRATOR: Finally, the
workers reach the bottom
of one of the shafts.

ASHRAF: We are so close
to the burial chamber.

NARRATOR: This ancient
shaft should lead to
the entrance of a

4,500 year-old burial chamber, but something is wrong...

[speaking Arabic].

I can hear, you know,
the sound of the rock.

The axe is hitting the rock.

This is not a good sign.

It means the shaft
is unfinished!

NARRATOR: Ashraf thinks they
have found a false shaft,

deliberately made by
the tomb builders to

fool thieves trying to
find the burial chamber.

And it's an anti-theft
technique he's seen before,
in Menkaure's Pyramid.

NARRATOR: Menkaure constructed the pyramid to protect his body and treasures,

but the giant pyramid
also attracted thieves.

Inside, engineers tried to
protect the burial chamber

with a series of
heavy stone slabs...

but these barriers of
solid rock weren't enough
to keep out tomb robbers

and the Pharaoh's body
and treasures were looted.

ASHRAF: Like the place
we are standing here
now, this is the place,

you know where they had the
blocks, to seal this passage.

We found many small fragments
of the blocks becauseit was broken to pieces.

Some blocks about 3
tons or 4 tons there.

NARRATOR: With these huge
stone walls destroyed,
the robbers could finally

enter the pharaoh's
burial chamber.

NARRATOR: Nothing
remains of Menkaure's
mummy or his treasures.

Ashraf believes the
threat of tomb robbers
was the reason the

Pharaohs stopped building
these giant pyramids.

NARRATOR: To keep their
bodies hidden from looters,

the great pharaohs chose
this secluded location.

The Valley of the Kings.

JOHN: How much
further Mahmood?

MAHMOOD: We are close!
JOHN: We're close?

NARRATOR: John Ward is in
one of the first tombs to be
built in the Valley and is

descending over 320 feet
below ground into the
sacred burial chamber.

JOHN: We're coming towards
the end of this tomb!

The final steps.

Wow!

I'm in the belly of the final
resting place of a Pharaoh.

I can't even begin to imagine
what it must have been
like to be digging this out.

Truly an amazing feat.

NARRATOR: Although crudely
completed, K-V-20 was a
successful experiment,

and in this chamber,
archaeologists found
two stone coffins,

one inscribed with the
name of the Pharaoh,
Thutmose the first.

The other, for the
Pharaoh Hatshepsut,

his daughter and
one of Egypt's most
powerful female rulers.

For the next 500 years,

the pharaohs built their
tombs deep underground.

So far, 65 have been
found but experts suspect
there could be at least

two great pharaoh's tombs
yet to be discovered.

With their tomb entrances
hidden from sight, the
pharaohs believed their

mummified bodies and
treasures would be protected
from grave robbers.

They had solved one problem,
but they still needed to
find a way to be worshipped

and for their legacy to be
remembered for eternity.

JOHN: Whereas the pyramidcontains everything, the burial,

the place of worship, here
that's all separated.

Here we have the tomb,
the last resting place
of a Pharaoh,

but he still requires that
place to be worshipped.

NARRATOR: The Pharaohs wanted
to be remembered forever,

but with their bodies
hidden in the Valley,

their followers would need
somewhere to worship.

John wants to investigate
how they ensured their legacy
would never be forgotten.

In the Valley of the Nobles,

Andrea and her team are on
the hunt for clues that can

shed light on the life of a
noble woman called Hunai.

They've found pictures on
a tomb wall which suggest
she shared an unusual

bond with the Pharaoh
Amenhotep the second.

ANDREA: It's really an
unusual... you will not

find another tomb
showing this very personal
relationship with the King.

In this case you can
really recognize that she
is giving him her breast.

NARRATOR: The wall paintings
reveal Hunai was a royal
wet-nurse who breastfed

the future Pharaoh
when he was a child,

and this intimate
relationship explains

why Hunai was buried so close
to the Valley of the Kings.

IWONA: This was originally
the burial place of Hunai,

and this is also where we
found more individuals.

NARRATOR: In search of
Hunai's remains, Iwona
is sifting through

thousands of bones
found in her tomb.

IWONA: That's super-orbital
ridges, that are usually
pronounced in males,

looking at the sutures,cranial sutures, and the teeth,

this person was
definitely over 35.

NARRATOR: The wall
inscriptions also reveal
Hunai had a grown-up son,

who was a high official.

So, Iwona believes
Hunai was a middle-aged
woman when she died.

IWONA: You can see
some depressions here,
could be menopause.

This person seemed to havequite a pronounced nose.

I've got confident one
female, question mark
female so that's two,

and the other four are most
likely male individuals.

NARRATOR: To find out
if either of the female
skulls belongs to Hunai,

Iwona needs to look
for signs of a gruesome
mummification process

only performed on
the wealthy elite.

IWONA: The lady we're looking
for definitely had herbrains pulled out in pieces!

NARRATOR: In Giza, Ashraf and his team have been working hard to clear the second shaft

of the unexcavated
tomb at the foot of
the Menkaure Pyramid...

[speaking Arabic].

[cheering].

NARRATOR: and their
hard work has paid off.

[Speaking Arabic].

ASHRAF: He says that
there is a small hole
and no light in there,

so we need a torch to
see what's over there.

So, I'm going to send Mohamed
to tell us what will be there.

NARRATOR: The workers think they have found an entrance to a burial chamber carved in the

bedrock and Egyptologist
Mohammad Ahmed will be the
first to venture inside.

MOHAMED: Wow! Phew!

ASHRAF: Can you see if there
is a coffin or sarcophagus?

MOHAMED: This is the
opening which leads
to the burial chamber.

I'm very excited!

NARRATOR: Sealed with
rocks and hidden at the
bottom of the 30 foot shaft,

this burial chamber could
contain the 4,500 year-old

remains of the tomb
owner and their treasure.

MOHAMED: Mr. Ashraf?

I see darkness.

ASHRAF: Can you see
through the hole?

MOHAMED: Okay.

ASHRAF: You think I'm going to
wait after you found a hole?

You are kidding me!

MOHAMED: Now I
will get inside.

Okay.

All done. Wow.

This slab, it was
blocking the doorway
to this burial chamber.

When I see the sloping
gravels and stones,

I feel that someone
gets inside before me.

NARRATOR: The tomb has been
looted by grave robbers,

but Mohamed finds bones
that have been left behind.

MOHAMED: This bone
is from the chest.

This is from the pelvis,

and I think this big
long bone is the thigh.

NARRATOR: The treasures
may have been taken,

but these ancient bones
inside a burial chamber

by the pyramid are an
incredible discovery,

and the remains will
be collected and
analyzed by the team.

ASHRAF: Mohamed, why youdidn't get out to tell meand show me the footage.

MOHAMED: Okay Sir!

ASHRAF: You have
to get out now!

So, it has been looted.

A few bones only
and remains of wood.

MOHAMED: Yes.

ASHRAF: I'm a little
bit disappointed because

I was expecting to find
a coffin with a mummy.

But I'm still happy because
we have the discovery.

NARRATOR: The fragments of
bone found in this burial
chamber won't be enough for

Ashraf to identify who
was buried in the tomb,

but he's convinced
there is another

burial chamber here, so
excavations will continue.

ASHRAF: I feel there is
something down there,

so I hope that something
waiting for us.

NARRATOR: Just a mile from
the Valley of the Kings on
Luxor's West Bank,

stands the vast Mortuary
Temple, Medinet Habu.

JOHN: So here it
is, Medinet Habu.

They call it the Mortuary
Temple, the house
of millions of years.

NARRATOR: To safeguard them
from robbers, the pharaohs
kept their tombs hidden,

but they also needed to be
worshipped and remembered.

They chose this Temple
to honor their legacy.

JOHN: Whereas today we
would go to the graveyard
or the cemetery,

we'd lay a flower
at our gravestone,

this is a gravestone.

This is the legacy
of Pharaoh Ramses,
Amenhotep III, Hatshepsut,

they've all put their mark here.

NARRATOR: The pharaohs
built mortuary temples like
Medinet Habu as vast palaces

dedicated to preserving
their memory for eternity.

Each temple had a loyal
staff of priests devoted
to maintaining a cult

that would continue
worshipping the
king forever.

The pharaohs had their royal
names written as special
symbols called cartouches,

carved all over the temples.

Their names were important because these ancient pharaohs believed that to achieve

immortality their names
must be spoken for eternity.

JOHN: We have this whole
development from Pharaoh
being buried in the pyramid,

to being buried over there
in the Valley of the Kings,

and this, his mortuary
temple and they are
immortalized here.

NARRATOR: But for some
pharaohs, simply having
their name inscribed

on a palace wall
was not enough.

On the Banks of
the River Nile, stands
the vast Luxor Temple.

Here, an elite team of
engineers is working to
restore a giant statue

dedicated to one of
Egypt's greatest pharaohs.

NARRATOR: Mahmood Farouk
has a daunting challenge.

He needs to rebuild the giant
statue of Rameses II that stands over 30-feet tall.

It was destroyed
by an earthquake.

Now it's time to put the
King back where he belongs.

NARRATOR: Mahmood and his
team are using modern steel
girders to hold the

pieces of statue together,
and they must line up
perfectly with the legs,

standing at the
entrance to the Temple.

One wrong move could send
the 3000-year-old statue

crashing into the temple wall.

NARRATOR: Moving the
heavy statue into place

is an intricate challenge
for the team.

The metal girders fixed
to the body and legs must
fit perfectly together.

NARRATOR: It might
look finished, but
Mahmood needs to check

the alignment of
the statue's eyes.

According to Egyptian custom,
they must look straight ahead
to reflect the King's power.

NARRATOR: The
measurements show the
eyes are pointing down.

The team will have
to start again.

In the Valley of the Nobles,
Iwona is continuing her

forensic analysis of human
remains to identify Hunai.

She's looking for evidence
of a rare burial practice.

IWONA: The traditional way
of mummifying the body would
be to remove the brain.

The tool would have beeninserted through a nostril,

and then the ethmoid
bone would be broken

through to get access
to the brain cavity.

NARRATOR: Only high-status
individuals underwent
this mummification ritual.

So as a nurse to the
Pharaoh, it would have
been performed on Hunai.

IWONA: So here we have
a complete skull, and
it's quite interesting.

The person lost all their
upper teeth except one!

I think there is a
small opening here,

this skull seems to be...

seems to be fitting
the description so far.

NARRATOR: The small hole
is strong evidence that
the brain was scraped out,

but to prove her theory, Iwona will use digital technology

to take a closer look inside.

At the pyramids, Ashraf has
received some exciting news.

ASHRAF: You know I just got
a phone call from Mohamed,

he's telling me he
has found a shaft!

NARRATOR: The team has found
a third shaft above the tomb,

which could lead to
another burial chamber.

ASHRAF: The site is
getting more exciting.

We are getting more excited to
see, to know more information
about the situations here.

NARRATOR: To help speed
up the dig, the team has
built a pulley system.

[speaking Arabic].

ASRAF: It's a little
bit windy, but still good.

This is good weather
for workers to work!

NARRATOR: But suddenly
Ashraf's team is in trouble.

The heavy metal frame has
collapsed into the shaft,

and the workers inside
are not responding.

[speaking Arabic].

ASHRAF: It wasn't stable
enough, but thanks to God
everything was okay now.

So, we are using
this rope ladder now.

So, you see the
workers are okay.

[speaking Arabic].

[singing]

[speaking Arabic].

NARRATOR: The workers have
escaped relatively unharmed.

Ashraf can press ahead
with his excavations.

ASHRAF: We are so close.

On the righthand side, I
believe this is the opening
of the burial chamber.

NARRATOR: But a giant rock
slab is blocking their way.

ASHRAF: They are going to drop
some ropes to tie this stone
and take it out of there.

NARRATOR: Ashraf has
opened the entrance
to the burial chamber,

now he's ready to find out
who, or what, is inside.

NARRATOR: At the Luxor
Temple, engineer Mahmoud

is trying to position
the 65-ton statue of

Ramses the second at the
entrance to the Temple.

But his first
attempt has failed.

NARRATOR: His team has
just a few hours to cut
and reshape the girders.

They must ensure the
statue's eyes point

straight ahead to the
horizon, a symbol of power.

Only then will
they have restored this
great Pharaoh's legacy.

NARRATOR: Slowly and
carefully, they winch
it into position...

[speaking Arabic].

MAHMOUD: I hope this...

Success, yeah.

NARRATOR: This time, everything lines up perfectly.

The statue of Ramses II
now stands exactly as
it did 3000 years ago,

restoring his legacy
as one of the greatest
Pharaohs to rule Egypt.

NARRATOR: Across the Nile,
Iwona and her team have
turned to digital technology

in their hunt for the
royal nurse Hunai.

IWONA: We actually have the
x-ray of that particular
skull that we think could

potentially belong to Hunai.

Her being a woman of
high social status, we
would expect her body

to have been prepared
accordingly for the burial.

NARRATOR: Ancient Egyptians
believed the brain had no
value in the afterlife,

so they pulled it out in
pieces through the nose,
during mummification.

IWONA: And we can't see
any brain residue inside the
skull, the brain was removed.

NARRATOR: The x-ray
confirms Iwona's theory.

All the evidence suggests
this is the skull of Hunai.

It's a huge discovery
for the team.

IWONA: Hello, so may
I present a female,

an older female!

Her brain was removed.

If we are looking the
best candidate for Hunai,
this would be this skull!

ANDREA: This is really amazing
results, that's exciting news!

NARRATOR: 3000-years after
her death, Hunai's memory
has now been restored.

it was her unique role
as a royal nurse that
earned her a tomb

next to the Valley of the Kings

so that she could
join the Pharaohs for
eternity in the afterlife.

ANDREA: We were able to
uncover a great royal
nurse of Amenhotep II

when he was a prince.

So, I think we are very lucky.

I'm very happy about this.

NARRATOR: At the pyramids,
Ashraf's team is preparing

to enter the
newly-discovered 4,500
year-old burial chamber.

ASHRAF: I'm so excited that we
found the bottom of the shaft,

but I'm a big guy and the
shaft down there is so small,

that's why I'm sending my
colleagues to go down there.

I'm talking about
33 feet, its deep.

And to have your people
down there, it's not easy.

But these people have the
passion to find something new.

It is an adventure
to be an Egyptologist,
to find something new.

NARRATOR: Ashraf has
brought in specialists to
investigate the chamber.

Senior Archaeologist
Wael Fathi and

anthropologist, Sara Saber.

ASHRAF: I'm so excited to tell
you what you're going to see.

We make sure that
everything is okay first,

and after this we'll let
Sara get down there.

Good. Sara your turn.

She's getting down now.

You're doing a good job Sara,
it's one of your adventures.

I think they are ready to go
inside the burial chamber.

WAEL: This is strange here.

You see, its bones
here, everywhere.

NARRATOR: Once again, grave
robbers have ransacked
the burial chamber.

SARA: This is the
remains of a skull.

NARRATOR: But this time they
left more evidence behind.

SARA: This is the sacrum.

It is very important to know
sometimes the age or the sex.

We must collect all the bones.

WAEL: Wow!

REPORTER: What is it?

WAEL: It's a sealing stamp.

NARRATOR: It's an
astonishing find.

These stamps were used
to seal offering jars

left with the owner of the
tomb during their burial.

It's rare to have
survived over 4000 years.

This person to stamp
his name or her name or his
title, something like that.

So, this is a big discovery.

This is the first day for
Sara here you know, and
we found such a discovery.

It's a great day.

[applause]

NARRATOR: This discovery
could hold vital information
about who was buried

so close to Menkaure's
pyramid, and why.

SARA: We found from
the skull, this part is
the mastoid process...

ASHRAF: Yes.

SARA: This is
very, very small.

Also, we found this
section of the vertebrae,
it's very spongy.

This refers to a woman,
maybe plus 50 years old.

NARRATOR: The bones reveal
the tomb belongs to a woman.

WAEL: We have
another evidence.

NARRATOR: But can the
inscriptions on the
seal provide a name?

ASHRAF: Amazing,
you can see the two
arms up, this is Ca!

It means Kawu...

WAEL: Shepset Kawu yeah.
ASHRAF: Shepset Kawu.

So, this is for Shepset Kawu.
You brought good luck for us!

You know because I was happy
and satisfied with bones,

with a skeleton
but you came...

WAEL: And bring you more.

ASHRAF: And you
brought luck for us,
and we found the stamp!

What a big day
for our mission.

Robbers didn't
care about bones.

So, thanks to the God
because they didn't care
about them, we found them.

We found the bones and
we found the stamps that
tell us about the lady,

the owner of the
tomb, Shepset Kawu!

To have her tomb nearby
Menkaure it means she was
a very important lady.

For us as Egyptologists
to find an inscription,

like a name for an unknown
tomb is a great discovery.

NARRATOR: What the grave
robbers left behind has
helped Ashraf and his team

restore the name and
memory of Shepset Kawu,

and now, like the Pharaohs who built the giant pyramids,

the vast mortuary temples,

and the hidden tombs in
the Valley of the Kings,

her memory will live on.
