Air date: Oct 08, 2018

One of the most remarkable finds in modern archaeology was the discovery of a giant statue of a pharaoh, buried in the suburbs of Cairo. This was a pharaoh about whom little was known - until now. He was a leader who brought a new golden era to ancient Egypt and left a legacy that shaped western civilisation for millenia.
