Chasing Mummies

Zahi is supervising the restoration of the Step Pyramid, the oldest pyramid in Egypt. It's there that we meet the new members of his fellowship program: late to show up, Lindsay nearly loses her job before it actually begins!

Only a handful of people have ever had the chance to see the Five Chambers high above the Grand Gallery of the Great Pyramid.

Most people experience something rare or exceptional once or twice in a lifetime, but Zahi Hawass, unimpeded by his tireless lust for adventure, lives many lifetimes in a single day.

On the road to Dakhla, the fellows learn quickly just how fast everything can change when Zahi is in the driver's seat!

Finding Cleopatra's tomb has been the lifelong passion for many an archaeologist. Some scholars believe Cleopatra's remains are at Taposiris Magna.

Finding unopened tombs in modern-day Egypt is very rare indeed, but with all his fellows in tow, Zahi heads to Sheikh Sobey and discovers an amazing mummy inside a sarcophagus.

It's early morning in Saqqara and Zahi is getting ready to open two sealed tombs for the first time in thousands of years, but Zoe is late again and his patience is wearing thin.

It's time for Leslie, the Executive Producer, to do Zahi a favor, and it requires going where few cameras have been before--to the mysterious caves below the Giza Plateau.

Now that two fellows are gone, it seems that Alice, the marine archaeologist from Alexandria, wants to ask Zahi for a spot in the fellowship program.

Having the chance of a lifetime to follow Dr. Zahi Hawass and witness so many new discoveries in this magical land of Egypt is an exceptional experience for anyone who can actually keep up with him!
