1912 год. Бесстрашная юная журналистка Адель Блан-Сек готова пойти на всё ради достижения цели, даже если для этого ей предстоит отправиться в Египет и столкнуться с мумиями всех форм и размеров. А в это время Париж охвачен паникой: каким-то невероятным образом в музее естествознания из яйца птеродактиля, возраст которого насчитывает 136 миллионов лет, вылупляется детёныш и начинает терроризировать жителей города. Но опасность нисколько не тревожит Адель, готовую с головой броситься в водоворот самых невероятных приключений.
В 1928-м году в Египте археологи обнаружили гигантское каменное кольцо, покрытое загадочными иероглифами. Американские военные, на протяжении десятилетий бившиеся над разгадкой послания, привлекают для исследования египтолога доктора Дэниэла Джексона — сторонника теории внеземного происхождения пирамид. Ему удаётся прочесть надпись. Навстречу неизведанному сквозь Звёздные Врата вместе с Джексоном отправляется отряд специального назначения под командованием полковника Джонатана О'Нила. Звёздные Врата переносят их за миллионы световых лет от Земли, на странную планету, в место, напоминающее Древний Египет: бескрайние пустыни, диковинные животные и рабы, поклоняющиеся богу солнца Ра. Чтобы найти путь домой и спасти человечество, пришельцам предстоит сразиться с армией последнего представителя могущественной инопланетной расы, узнавшего, что дверь на Землю может быть открыта вновь, спустя тысячелетия.
Группа американских археологов раскапывает древнюю пирамиду, расположенную глубоко под египетской пустыней. Когда они начинают исследовать внутренние помещения пирамиды, то безнадежно теряются в ее бесконечных темных катакомбах.
Великий фараон прогневал богов. В наказание они наслали на Египетское царство демонов пустыни. Чтобы защитить своего правителя и его народ от темных сил, жрецы совершили тайный обряд. Принеся человеческую жертву и захоронив в песках священный амулет, они попросили защиты у Анубиса, бога загробного мира. Приняв дар, Анубис усмирил демонов пустыни, и в Египте воцарился мир…Но тысячи лет спустя археологи нашли древний амулет. И, чтобы вернуть себе символ абсолютной власти над темными силами, Анубис вновь появляется в мире людей…

Professor Joann Fletcher explores what it was like to be a woman of power in ancient Egypt. Through a wealth of spectacular buildings, personal artefacts and amazing tombs, Joann brings to life four of ancient Egypt's most powerful female rulers and discovers the remarkable influence wielded by women, whose power and freedom was unique in the ancient world. Throughout Egypt's history, women held the title of pharaoh no fewer than 15 times, and many other women played key roles in running the state and shaping every aspect of life. Joann Fletcher puts these influential women back at the heart of our understanding, revealing the other half of ancient Egypt.
As part of a high-tech forensic probe into the demise of Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun, scientists use X-rays and CT scans as they attempt to reach a conclusion about just how this famed king died. In addition, they explore the mysterious curse on explorers linked to Tut's tomb excavation.
It is one of Egypt's enduring mysteries. What happened to Nefertiti and her husband, Akhenaten - the radical king, and likely father of King Tut? In a dark and mysterious tomb located in the Valley of the Kings, there is a small chamber with two mummies without sarcophagi or wrappings. At times, both have been identified as Queen Nefertiti by scholars, filmmakers and historians. But the evidence has been circumstantial at best.
A lad finds himself magically sent back to ancient Egypt where he and the young King Tut team up to stop their evil and overly ambitious elders.
A century after the world’s most exciting archaeological find - the tomb of Tutankhamun - we can witness the dramatic scenes of its discovery and marvel at its extraordinary treasures exactly as they were then, in colour.
The adventurous life of Natacha Rambova (1897-1966), an American artist, born Winifred Kimball Shaughnessy, who reincarnated herself countless times: false Russian dancer, silent film actress, scenographer and costume designer, writer, spiritist, Egyptologist, indefatigable traveler, mysterious and curious; an amazing 20th century woman who created the myth of Rudolph Valentino.
What killed King Tutankhamun? Ever since his spectacular tomb was discovered, the boy king has been the most famous pharaoh of all ancient Egypt. But his mysterious death, at just 19 years old, has never been explained. In this BBC One special, presenter Dallas Campbell reveals new scientific research and carries out unique experiments to get to the truth. For the first time, a virtual autopsy of Tut's mummified body reveals astonishing secrets about the pharaoh. Using CT scan data, the programme creates the first ever full size, scientifically accurate image of the real Tutankhamun. Brand new DNA analysis uncovers a shocking secret about Tut's family background, and the genetic trail of clues leads to a radical and revolutionary new theory to explain Tut's sudden and unexpected death. This is an epic detective story that uncovers the extraordinary truth of the boy behind the golden mask.
The cosmos of the incurable Margarethe. Her journey through the mysteries of the Egyptian underworld. Will she be coming forth by day? Film in two parts by Carsten Frank.
For 45 centuries, the Great Sphinx has cast its enigmatic gaze over Egypt's Giza Plateau. The biggest and oldest statue in a land of colossal ancient monuments, its scale is staggering: The mighty head towers as tall as the White House, while its body is nearly the length of a football field. This strange half-human, half-lion image has inspired countless fantastic theories about its origins. How was it built, and who or what does it represent? Surprisingly, the scribes of the period when it was built—during Egypt's Old Kingdom—passed over it in silence. Adding to the mystery, archeologists found that its creators abruptly discarded their tools and abandoned the Sphinx when it was nearly complete. Searching for clues, NOVA's expert team of archeologists, including Mark Lehner, director of Ancient Egypt Research Associates, carries out eye-opening experiments.
