Over the past few decades, significant discoveries have been made on the very site where the pyramids were built. But now, hundreds of kilometers from the pyramids themselves, we are gaining more insight into just how they were built. Two teams of Egyptologists, one based in middle of the desert, the other located on the Red Sea coast, are currently discovering more about the Egypt of Khufu’s time, than at the foot of the pyramids. What they found help them figure out how ancient Egyptians worked.   

This film has been shot from within, by a film crew immersed for several weeks within these two archaeological missions. The documentary team filmed archaeological experiments in real time, revealing ancient techniques and methods, unlocking certain secrets of these ancient great builders.
