Private Lives of the Pharaohs
Lost City of the Pyramids
E2 Nov 20, 2000 55m
This program addresses arguably the most debated mystery surrounding the ancient Egyptians: who built the Pyramids at Giza and how and why did they do it? In 500 BC, already two millennia after the Pyramids were constructed, the Greek historian Heroditus recorded that 100,000 slaves had built them - a purported fact that modern guidebooks still publish. This program reveals startling new evidence to disprove Heroditus' hypothesis.
