As of the start of their mission in Saqqara, Zahi Hawass and his team of Egyptian scientists get the impression that their excavation zone will be extremely rich. After digging over forty shafts, they finally unearth the Grail: dozens of sarcophagi dating from the New Kingdom and the Late Period of Ancient Egypt that will need to be scanned and maybe even opened.
But there are more surprises in store. Inside, the people have been buried with sometimes unexpected secrets. Thanks to forensic science techniques, the team travels back in time and brings to life the people who lived here, in Ancient Egypt, over three thousand years ago.
