The Nile: 5,000 Years of History

The Mouth (1x1)

Air date: Jun 14, 2019

Bettany visits Egypt’s gateway to the world, the Nile’s mouth, before boarding her fabulous ‘dahabiya’ and meeting the crew that will guide her upriver the entire length of Egypt. Sailing south of Cairo, there’s time for Bettany to learn a few ropes onboard before she braves the underground tunnels of a collapsed pyramid, where the earliest known hieroglyphic writing can be found.
