Pharaoh's Revenge: Egypt's Lost Treasure (2004x40)

:

Follow archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass in his international campaign to recover Egypt's most iconic stolen treasures. For more than two hundred years, since Napol?on Bonaparte's expeditionary force landed at Alexandria in 1798, the Nile Valley has been systematically looted of its treasures. It's a story of breathtaking greed, hypocrisy and cultural philistinism, and it's a story that continues to this day. For Dr. Zahi Hawass, it's time to act. With exclusive access to the innermost workings of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Cairo, this programme will examine the stories behind three of Egypt's most important artefacts: how they were discovered, where they are now and Dr. Hawass's attempts to bring them home.
