The Pyramids, the Sphinx and the tombs of the Pharaohs are all fabulous monuments to Egypt’s past.

But according to one scientist, Dr Sarah Parcak, the astonishing antiquities already discovered could be just a tiny percentage of what was left behind by the Ancient Egyptians. She believes that cutting edge satellite technology has the power to locate thousands of possible ancient sites, including what might be lost tombs, temples and cities buried beneath the shifting sands.

This breathtaking programme follows her journey, and sets out to recreate lost monuments and landscapes last seen of thousands of years ago.
