Air date: Feb 09, 2022

A stone’s throw from the iconic Cheops pyramids, another famous man-made creation rises, towering over the Giza Plateau - The Grand Egyptian Museum. The construction of this ultra-modern building of unprecedented proportions, stretching over 117 acres, was recently finalised. With its 20 years of construction punctuated with pitfalls and dead ends, 5000 daily onsite workers and 1-billion-dollar budget, it is the biggest construction site the world has ever seen. Welcome to the biggest museum in the world.
