This is the intriguing story of the pharaoh Akhenaton, who, with the help of his queen, Nefertiti, tried to revolutionise ancient Egyptian society. After his death, all trace of his reign was eradicated, and the new city he had built in the desert was systematically destroyed and buried under the sand for 3,000 years, until it was rediscovered in the 19th century. The video was made by the French television channel Arte, but I have supplied it with subtitles for the benefit of English-speaking viewers.
