Journey up the Nile, into the tombs, and back through thousands of years of ancient Egyptian history - meeting the shows and stories that bring it to life.

Deeper in: how the ancient Egyptians prepared for the afterlife - from wrapping mummies to filling tombs with treasure for the journey ahead.
The rulers of ancient Egypt: pharaohs and queens who were treated as gods on Earth, and whose stories are still being told thousands of years later.
Last stop: cracking the code. How we actually learned to read ancient Egyptian writing, and the gods and myths that writing was used to tell.
Storytellers, sleuths and daring explorers - fictional and true tales set against the backdrop of ancient Egypt.
Every episode across the whole catalogue that mentions ancient Egypt, pyramids, mummies or pharaohs - not hand-picked like the trails above, just everything that's out there.
