00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:32.280
-[Ghareeb, in Arabic] Mr. Hamada!
-[Hamada] Yes, boss?

6
00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:34.800
[Ghareeb] There's something down there.

7
00:00:35.480 --> 00:00:37.840
[Hamada] Hold on, Ghareeb,
I'm coming down.

8
00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:41.480
[Ghareeb] It's over there.

9
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:44.600
[Hamada] What are we looking at?

10
00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:47.480
[Ghareeb] Over there…
something has appeared.

11
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.560
[Hamada] My God, the dust!

12
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.400
[Ghareeb] That's why I stopped.
I can't tell what it is.

13
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:55.240
It's in that pile of dirt.

14
00:00:56.360 --> 00:00:58.040
[Hamada] Okay, give me some room.

15
00:01:05.520 --> 00:01:07.200

[Hamada whispering indistinctly]

18
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:14.120
[Hamada] Hmm…

19
00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:16.480
In the name of God.

20
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:17.440
What's this then?

21
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:22.520
[Hamada speaking Arabic]

22
00:01:23.720 --> 00:01:25.840
This is something astonishing…

23
00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:30.480
It's the lion goddess, Ghareeb!

24
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:33.440
[Ghareeb] Wow!

25
00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:37.720
[Hamada] What in the name of God
is this doing here?

26
00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:45.880

[man, in English]
To discover a complete tomb…

31
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:35.320
it is incredible.

32
00:02:39.320 --> 00:02:44.280
[in Arabic] The first time I went in,
I nearly passed out from sheer joy!

33
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.120
[in English]
Four thousand years old, hidden!

-[Ahmed, in English] Nobody touch it.
-[man continues speaking Arabic]

36
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:57.520
[in Arabic] An unfathomable tomb!

[man speaking Arabic]

38
00:02:59.160 --> 00:03:01.080
There is absolutely nothing like this.

00:03:02.040 --> 00:03:04.200
[newsman]
An ancient story is coming to life

40
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:06.640
from under the desert sands west of Cairo.

41
00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:10.320
[newsman 2] What's being called
a one-of-a-kind discovery in Egypt.

42
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.520
[newsman 3]
…a tomb so perfectly preserved,

43
00:03:12.600 --> 00:03:16.040
it's been called
the most significant discovery in decades.

44
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:20.000
[newswoman]
Untouched and unlooted for 4,400 years.

45
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.480
Newspapers, magazines, TVs.

46
00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:25.880
Everybody in the world,
they were talking about the tomb.

47
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:27.680
A rare discovery in Egypt.

48
00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:30.800
The Antiquities minister says
they uncovered a private tomb

49
00:03:30.880 --> 00:03:34.120
belonging to a senior official
from the fifth dynasty of the pharaohs.

50
00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:37.200
[newswoman] …it's the latest
in a series of big finds in Egypt.

51
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.200
[newsman] The head of Egypt's
Antiquities Council

52
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.840
says more discoveries are expected…

53
00:03:40.920 --> 00:03:42.600
[newsman 2]
…is exceptionally well-preserved

54
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.920
and can offer more understanding
of life back then.

55
00:04:08.600 --> 00:04:11.520
[Mohammad] This tomb… is a unique tomb.

56
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:26.200
To find this color…

57
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:31.320
to find this inscription…

58
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.360
and all these statues in a private tomb?

59
00:04:37.960 --> 00:04:40.240
It doesn't appear before in all Egypt.

60
00:04:45.080 --> 00:04:47.120
My name is Mohammad Mohammad Yousef.

61
00:04:47.200 --> 00:04:48.960
I am a doctor in Egyptology.

62
00:04:53.200 --> 00:04:56.000
From the beginning
when we discover the tomb,

63
00:04:56.080 --> 00:04:57.960
we found the name Wahtye.

64
00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:02.280
Wahtye is the owner of the tomb.

65
00:05:02.960 --> 00:05:05.480
But we don't know anything about this man.

66
00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:13.800
We must read the hieroglyphics
to find out…

67
00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:16.720
Who is Wahtye?

68
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.840
Who is he to have a tomb like this?

69
00:05:21.960 --> 00:05:23.040
It is a mystery.

70
00:05:26.760 --> 00:05:29.280
Usually when we find a tomb,

71
00:05:30.440 --> 00:05:33.720
somebody digs the burial shaft
in the ancient times.

72
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.440
But sometimes you have a surprise.

73
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:43.440
When we cleaned the ground,

74
00:05:45.080 --> 00:05:48.360
we found four shafts filled with sand.

75
00:05:55.080 --> 00:05:58.040
And that day, everybody didn't sleep.

76
00:05:58.120 --> 00:05:59.240
We dream.

77
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:08.600
Because if we can find the whole family
buried in the shafts after 4,500 years,

78
00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:11.920
that would be better than finding gold.

79
00:06:14.280 --> 00:06:17.360
It would be incredible for us.

80
00:06:34.200 --> 00:06:36.040

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.960
[Hamada]
My name is Hamada Mansour.

84
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:14.840
I'm an archaeologist

85
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:20.120
and a member of the Egyptian mission
at the Bubasteion necropolis.

86
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:21.600

[cow lowing]

89
00:07:36.440 --> 00:07:38.600
Mr. Ahmed Zikrey is my supervisor.

90
00:07:40.520 --> 00:07:44.200
He was also the person
who taught me history in primary school.

91
00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:48.240
-You're late.
-[Hamada] Sorry, boss.

92
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:50.880
[speaking indistinctly]

93
00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:52.960
[Hamada] Every day,
we start our journey…

94
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:56.480
from the world of the living…

95
00:07:58.520 --> 00:08:00.600
to the world of the dead…

96
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:04.080
Saqqara.

97
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:10.720
[engine revs]

98
00:08:15.320 --> 00:08:17.040
[Ahmed] Working at Saqqara,

99
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:20.320
I'm so lucky,
because I love the history so much.

100
00:08:22.200 --> 00:08:26.960
In just minutes, you can go
from the green, and people, crowded…

101
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:31.640
suddenly to be in the desert.

102
00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:33.720
It is amazing.

103
00:08:35.880 --> 00:08:38.400
[birds cawing]

104
00:08:51.160 --> 00:08:53.040
[Hamada]
Saqqara is a magical place.

105
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.520
The secret of its enchantment

106
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:01.160
is that under its sands are treasures
dating back more than 5,000 years.

107
00:09:05.400 --> 00:09:07.880
All in the shadow of the Step Pyramid,

108
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:10.000
the oldest stone pyramid in the world.

109
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:22.120
[in English] For me, Saqqara is the most
important archaeological site in Egypt.

110
00:09:24.160 --> 00:09:27.480
Any Egyptologist
must come to Saqqara to learn

111
00:09:27.560 --> 00:09:30.360
the history
from the beginning till the end.

112
00:09:39.760 --> 00:09:43.320
[Hamada] The Bubasteion necropolis,
where we found Wahtye's tomb,

113
00:09:43.800 --> 00:09:47.600
is an ancient cemetery
by the eastern cliffs,

114
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:51.160
less than a kilometer
from the Step Pyramid.

115
00:09:52.160 --> 00:09:57.200
We began our excavation here
in the spring of 2018.

116
00:10:01.280 --> 00:10:03.200
[indistinct chattering]

117
00:10:06.800 --> 00:10:08.400
The whole team is Egyptian…

118
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:12.120
[indistinct chattering]

119
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:14.480
But it's tough to work
in these conditions.

120
00:10:22.760 --> 00:10:27.920
If the weather down in the city
is 26 degrees,

121
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:32.360
it's 32 or 33 degrees up here. [chuckles]

122
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:34.200
[tools digging]

123
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.080
[wind blowing]

124
00:10:41.160 --> 00:10:43.080
It's exhausting work…

125
00:10:44.520 --> 00:10:46.720
and, my God, the dust!

126
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.840
But we are the people who can
best give a voice to our ancestors,

127
00:10:53.920 --> 00:10:55.360
because they are our ancestors.

128
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.400
We are one step closer to them
than the foreigner.

129
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.080
[people chattering indistinctly]

130
00:11:00.760 --> 00:11:03.040
Mr. Sabry is the General Manager.

131
00:11:03.800 --> 00:11:06.480
He keeps the whole operation running.

132
00:11:06.560 --> 00:11:08.880
Him and his family practically live here!

133
00:11:10.880 --> 00:11:12.840
[boy speaking Arabic]

134
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:22.600
Foreman Mustafa
is in charge of the workers.

135
00:11:24.400 --> 00:11:26.320
[Hamada] We'll put a group here,
Foreman Mustafa.

136
00:11:26.400 --> 00:11:28.560
-[Mustafa] Yes.
-[Hamada] Group number one.

137
00:11:30.560 --> 00:11:31.520
[dog barks]

138
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.280
[Hamada] And Dr. Mohammad Yousef
is the site director.

139
00:11:35.560 --> 00:11:38.560
I admire his reputation
as an archaeologist,

140
00:11:38.640 --> 00:11:42.920
so I always stick close
in order to learn from him.

141
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:44.480
[overlapping chatter]

142
00:11:49.160 --> 00:11:52.800
[Mohammad] Since we discovered
the tomb, we are waiting to dig the shafts

143
00:11:52.880 --> 00:11:56.160
to complete our story
for Wahtye and his family.

144
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:02.120
But until this moment, we are not able
to work inside the… the tomb.

145
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:07.800
Because first we need to investigate
the story of Wahtye

146
00:12:07.880 --> 00:12:10.280
through what is written on the walls.

147
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.760
[in Arabic] Let's start working
around the frame.

148
00:12:36.760 --> 00:12:38.560
[speaking indistinctly]

149
00:12:38.640 --> 00:12:41.240
[Mohammad]
Around three months, we are waiting,

150
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:43.560
but we haven't stopped working outside.

151
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.760
Our main aim here is to find a new tomb.

152
00:12:48.400 --> 00:12:50.920
-[men speaking indistinctly]
-We discovered Wahtye,

153
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:54.160
so maybe we will discover
another tomb in this area.

154
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:58.280
It is a theory.
Maybe it's right, maybe it's not right.

155
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.320
But we need to finish the work
in this area

156
00:13:06.040 --> 00:13:07.640
before the end of the season.

157
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:26.840
[Ahmed] We have hundreds
of people working at the mission.

158
00:13:27.920 --> 00:13:30.040
It is the only source of income for them.

159
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:36.600
All the team are hoping for next season.

160
00:13:38.520 --> 00:13:42.120
But everybody not sure
that they come back again or no,

161
00:13:42.760 --> 00:13:45.680
because maybe no money
from the government this time.

162
00:13:47.160 --> 00:13:48.680
[men chattering indistinctly]

163
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:02.080
[men chattering indistinctly]

164
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:04.560
We are sure we can find something,

165
00:14:05.280 --> 00:14:07.160
but the ti… the time is running.

166
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:08.160
Ramadan is coming.

167
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:11.280
So we need to find something
to complete our work.

168
00:14:11.800 --> 00:14:13.360
[men chattering indistinctly]

169
00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:33.520
[speaking Arabic]

170
00:14:43.560 --> 00:14:45.760
[Hamada, in Arabic]
What is it, Mahrous? Hmm?

171
00:14:48.280 --> 00:14:49.560
Let me see.

172
00:14:52.400 --> 00:14:53.720
[Mohammad] Have you got something?

173
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:57.640
[speaking indistinctly]

174
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:00.280
Move your hand, Mahrous, move your hand.

175
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:02.840
-[Hamada] Hold it from the top!
-[Mohammad] Go Tamer! Sweep.

176
00:15:02.920 --> 00:15:04.880
[indistinct chattering]

177
00:15:15.560 --> 00:15:17.640
[Mohammad speaking Arabic]

178
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:22.640
[Hamada speaking Arabic]

179
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:24.560
[Mohammad]
It is a base of a statue.

180
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:28.120
"May Ptah give…"

181
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:29.800
-"All life…"
-"…uh, all…

182
00:15:29.880 --> 00:15:32.720
all life… give all health…

183
00:15:33.280 --> 00:15:35.280
all life to…"

184
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:36.320
The name here.

185
00:15:36.400 --> 00:15:39.080
The name, the beginning of the name,
is not clear.

186
00:15:40.640 --> 00:15:43.400
[Hamada, in Arabic]
I've got a feeling she is not human.

187
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:46.680
-Ah.
-[Hamda] It could be Sekhmet.

188
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:50.040
We need the other part to read the rest.

189
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.480
[Hamada] That would be good.

190
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.440
-[Mohammad] That's your job, Mr. Hamada.
-Yes, boss!

191
00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.280
[men chattering indistinctly]

192
00:16:08.640 --> 00:16:10.160
[man] It's very beautiful!

193
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.800
[Hamada] Dr. Mohammad,
this statue is very unusual.

194
00:16:18.880 --> 00:16:23.560
-We found the base first, then the body.
-[Mohammad] Oh.

195
00:16:23.640 --> 00:16:25.240
-Oh.
-[Hamada] It fits perfectly.

196
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.200
We carried on working
and we found the head.

197
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:32.600
There are some beautiful statues here.

198
00:16:32.680 --> 00:16:34.520
[Mohammad] We're close
to where the temple was.

199
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.680
[woman] We've known that
the eastern cliffs of Saqqara

200
00:16:40.760 --> 00:16:44.320
were actually the space where there were
major animal cult centers.

201
00:16:46.400 --> 00:16:49.360
And one of the most important
was the Bubasteion.

202
00:16:50.680 --> 00:16:51.880
[chatting indistinctly]

203
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.200
My name is Salima Ikram,

204
00:16:56.280 --> 00:16:59.920
and I am a funerary archaeologist
and an archaeozoologist.

205
00:17:00.880 --> 00:17:02.920
This part is important. This is not.

206
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:06.600
[in English] One of my specialties
is animal mummies.

207
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.200
-[man speaking Arabic]
-[in Arabic] My dear, a little this way.

208
00:17:14.280 --> 00:17:17.200
[Salima] The Bubasteion
was a cult center and temple

209
00:17:17.280 --> 00:17:19.320
devoted to the goddess Bastet.

210
00:17:25.320 --> 00:17:28.680
She is the goddess of motherhood,
beauty, and love,

211
00:17:28.760 --> 00:17:32.600
most commonly seen as a cat
or a woman with a cat's head.

212
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.040
[Ahmed, in Arabic]
I really love these small cats.

213
00:17:36.120 --> 00:17:38.840
-[Mohammad] Small is beautiful, Mr. Ahmed.
-[man speaking Arabic]

214
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:44.440
[Salima, in English] Like any Egyptian
goddess, Bastet has a calm side

215
00:17:45.040 --> 00:17:46.240
and a scary side.

216
00:17:47.040 --> 00:17:48.800
On the calm side, she's a pussycat,

217
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.920
and so she'll be nice and playful
and she'll sort of look after her kittens.

218
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:54.040
[man] Ah.

219
00:17:54.120 --> 00:17:56.800
-[Salima] Oh, look, it's a kitten.
-[man] Yeah.

220
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.320
[in Arabic] Humerus bone, there are two,

221
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:01.680
and the radius.

222
00:18:02.280 --> 00:18:04.640
-That's the radius there.
-[man speaking Arabic]

223
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.440
But the scary side, she's a lioness.

224
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:10.920
[man speaking Arabic]

225
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.760
[Salima, in English] And she is
the goddess of revenge and plagues,

226
00:18:14.840 --> 00:18:16.880
and she's called Sekhmet in that guise.

227
00:18:18.800 --> 00:18:20.840
[Hamada] Be careful with that mattock.

228
00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:22.640
[Ahmed] What is it? Sekhmet?

229
00:18:24.120 --> 00:18:25.320
[Hamada] God willing!

230
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:26.480
[man speaking Arabic]

231
00:18:27.520 --> 00:18:29.800
[man speaking Arabic]

232
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:35.560
[men speaking Arabic]

233
00:18:53.600 --> 00:18:55.400
[Hamada] Wow, a great example!

234
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:57.160
[speaking indistinctly]

235
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:01.800
[speaking indistinctly]

236
00:19:03.360 --> 00:19:04.440
[men speaking Arabic]

237
00:19:08.320 --> 00:19:13.480
[in English] Words, uh, saying,
"To Sekhmet, beloved of god Ptah,

238
00:19:13.560 --> 00:19:18.520
may he give her all the health

239
00:19:18.600 --> 00:19:20.360
and all the pleasure,

240
00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:22.800
like Ra forever."

241
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:25.360
-[man speaking Arabic]
-Beautiful.

242
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:34.600
[Mohammad] To be the first one
to hold something in your hand

243
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:36.200
after thousands of years…

244
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:39.960
Millions of people dream to do this work.

245
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:51.960
[men chattering indistinctly]

246
00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:58.640
We are working here, but we are ready
at any time to move quickly

247
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:00.520
to work inside the tomb.

248
00:20:02.520 --> 00:20:05.240
We dream to finish the story of Wahtye.

249
00:20:06.280 --> 00:20:07.240
Who is this man?

250
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:11.320
[indistinct chattering]

251
00:20:19.280 --> 00:20:20.960
"Purified Priest to the King."

252
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:24.680
Purified Priest to the King?
Where's "the King?"

253
00:20:29.040 --> 00:20:30.840
[Nermeen] Ah…

254
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:32.760
"The King" is right there. See it?

255
00:20:32.840 --> 00:20:33.800
But it's eroded.

256
00:20:34.760 --> 00:20:35.880
[Nabil] You're right.

257
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:38.080
-Can you see it now?
-Exactly. Good point.

258
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:43.400
[Nermeen] When we are about to read
a hieroglyphic text,

259
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:45.960
there are certain rules that we follow.

260
00:20:46.040 --> 00:20:48.240
[speaking Arabic]

261
00:20:48.320 --> 00:20:50.600
These are remnants of the symbol
for "Divine Estate,"

262
00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:53.760
-or is it just my imagination?
-[Nabil] These are remnants of…

263
00:20:53.840 --> 00:20:56.360
-[Nermeen] Of "Divine Estate."
-[Nabil] "Divine Estate."

264
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:00.360
The writing can go from right to left,
left to right,

265
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.200
from top to bottom, or even the opposite.

266
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:10.800
-After this horizontal row of hieroglyphs…
-[Nermeen] Ah.

267
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:14.720
[Nabil] …it's then this northern frame
and these vertical inscriptions.

268
00:21:15.360 --> 00:21:18.840
So the whole idea is we figure out
what direction it's going in.

269
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:20.240
[speaking indistinctly]

270
00:21:20.320 --> 00:21:24.040
[Nabil] The simple trick
is to look for the bird.

271
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:27.800
If he faces right,
we start from the right.

272
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:32.800
If he faces left, we start from the left.
Then we see if we can make sense of it.

273
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:35.120
[speaking Arabic]

274
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:37.080
[Nermeen]
I think it's "Revered with…"

275
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:39.880
because this part
is the rest of the phonetic symbol

276
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:41.840
for "'Revered," these three together.

277
00:21:43.080 --> 00:21:46.000
-Followed by "the Great God."
-[Nabil] Right, right.

278
00:21:46.080 --> 00:21:47.920
[Nermeen] Okay, let's read it?

279
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:50.600
[reading together]

280
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:13.800
-This is very clear.
-[Nabil] Hmm.

281
00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:15.360
Did you write that?

282
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:17.320
Improve your handwriting a little
for when you're reading.

283
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:19.280
Improve your handwriting. I beg you!

284
00:22:19.360 --> 00:22:21.320
This is how I write.
All geniuses are like that.

285
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.880
-How can you read this?
-I'm the only one who can.

286
00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:27.360
[Nermeen] That's where the joy comes from.

287
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:32.480
Every aspect we discuss
will lift the veil on who Wahtye was.

288
00:22:33.280 --> 00:22:37.240
And as the basis of everything,
we must consider Wahtye as a priest.

289
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:46.280
The priest in that period was considered
one of the highest officials.

290
00:22:47.360 --> 00:22:48.720
He was the middleman

291
00:22:48.800 --> 00:22:52.680
between the king and the people,
and between the king and his god.

292
00:22:53.280 --> 00:22:56.800
That's how he was able to build
such a wonderful tomb.

293
00:22:59.520 --> 00:23:02.040
[Nabil] Wahtye,
based on my first impression…

294
00:23:02.120 --> 00:23:03.360
I like the guy!

295
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:07.480
Even if I see him as a bit of an egoist.

296
00:23:10.280 --> 00:23:12.560
He mentioned his own name
a lot in the tomb.

297
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:18.000
And he put in a lot of statues of himself.

298
00:23:20.320 --> 00:23:22.400
Fifty-five statues is an immense number!

299
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:25.200
He is glorifying himself.

300
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:29.360
He wanted to say,

301
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:32.120
"I am a strong personality,
an important personality."

302
00:23:35.120 --> 00:23:38.640
He wanted to be transported
to the afterlife

303
00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:41.440
in his full strength,

304
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:43.600
with all of his wealth.

305
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:48.560
He depicted
an incredible array of activities.

306
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:55.360
[Nermeen] We have multiple scenes
of daily life…

307
00:23:56.840 --> 00:23:59.800
and religious scenes…

308
00:24:02.120 --> 00:24:03.240
showing the afterlife.

309
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:08.800
This whole thing is scenes,
it's very nice.

310
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:10.160
The scene is magnificent.

311
00:24:11.080 --> 00:24:14.200
[Nermeen] He cared to portray everything
in great detail.

312
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:19.800
[Nabil] This man wanted it all.

313
00:24:20.520 --> 00:24:23.640
He wanted to transfer all of this
to his afterlife,

314
00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:27.200
and he was saying, "I will be master
of all this for eternity."

315
00:24:34.760 --> 00:24:37.880
For the ancient Egyptians,
because they loved life so much,

316
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:39.880
they wanted to have a fabulous afterlife,

317
00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:42.440
and the best way
was to have a very nice tomb.

318
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:52.000
They would build tomb chapels,
which were above ground.

319
00:24:54.760 --> 00:24:58.320
And then there would be a shaft
connecting to the below-ground bed,

320
00:24:58.400 --> 00:24:59.880
where you're actually buried.

321
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.120
Because the idea was
you preserve your body

322
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:05.040
so your soul can reanimate it.

323
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:09.360
Above ground,
the chapel was beautifully decorated

324
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:12.440
with all kinds of scenes
that showed the ideal life

325
00:25:12.520 --> 00:25:14.600
that they wished to enjoy for eternity.

326
00:25:17.120 --> 00:25:19.800
And also, you have things
called "false doors,"

327
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:22.120
and that's where your soul
goes in and out.

328
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:26.920
And so, one part of your soul
could go into the afterworld.

329
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:29.480
Another part could hang out in your tomb…

330
00:25:29.560 --> 00:25:30.400
[indistinct]

331
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:33.560
[Salima] …and every time someone came in
for a chat, you could listen.

332
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:35.240
[Nabil speaking Arabic]

333
00:25:35.800 --> 00:25:38.240
[Salima] So, this whole tomb complex

334
00:25:38.320 --> 00:25:41.120
acted as a kind of resurrection machine

335
00:25:41.600 --> 00:25:46.480
that guaranteed being able to safely go
from this world to the next world

336
00:25:46.560 --> 00:25:50.000
and to sort of live
this fabulous existence for eternity.

337
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:52.320
Incredible!

338
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:54.400
[Nabil speaking Arabic]

339
00:25:55.280 --> 00:25:56.760
[Nabil] It is a special tomb.

340
00:25:57.560 --> 00:25:59.480
But in my own personal perspective,

341
00:26:00.120 --> 00:26:04.960
uh, this tomb contains a lot of riddles.

342
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:10.200
This is a family tomb, and there are
certain characters that are shown,

343
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:12.840
such as Wahtye and his mother,

344
00:26:14.120 --> 00:26:15.120
his four children,

345
00:26:16.600 --> 00:26:17.440
and his wife.

346
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:20.960
But some characters are missing.

347
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:23.760
He had a brother?

348
00:26:25.080 --> 00:26:27.320
Wahtye's name was mentioned
so many times.

349
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:28.720
What's the deal?

350
00:26:28.800 --> 00:26:30.440
[speaking Arabic]

351
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:36.040
It's as if he was saying,
"This tomb is mine!

352
00:26:36.120 --> 00:26:38.040
This tomb is mine, mine, mine!"

353
00:26:39.120 --> 00:26:41.600
It's too much!

354
00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:45.760
I smell the scent of conspiracy
in this tomb.

355
00:26:51.600 --> 00:26:53.760
[men speaking Arabic]

356
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:04.680
[muezzin calling over loudspeaker]

357
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:08.280
[speaking Arabic]

358
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:15.680
[Mustafa] My name is Foreman
Mustafa Abdo Sadek Mahmoud.

359
00:27:16.560 --> 00:27:18.880
I am the foreman of excavations
at Saqqara.

360
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:29.080
I became a foreman because
this is the work of my forefathers.

361
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:30.960
[engine turns over]

362
00:27:31.040 --> 00:27:32.080
[engine revs]

363
00:27:35.320 --> 00:27:39.040
My father, my grandfather,
and my great grandfather were all foremen.

364
00:27:45.800 --> 00:27:48.560
It was passed down to me
generation by generation.

365
00:27:54.040 --> 00:27:55.400
[camel groaning]

366
00:28:00.520 --> 00:28:01.400
[camel grunts]

367
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:03.560
[camel roars]

368
00:28:10.080 --> 00:28:11.880
[Mustafa] This is our land.

369
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:22.800
I come here after I finish work.

370
00:28:28.840 --> 00:28:32.320
These trees and palms have been around
since the time of the pharaohs.

371
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:36.520
I plant and harvest
just like the ancient Egyptians.

372
00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:43.200
There are many things on Wahtye's walls
that I recognize from my daily life.

373
00:28:47.520 --> 00:28:49.640
[bird clucking]

374
00:28:52.120 --> 00:28:54.600
[speaking indistinctly]

375
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:00.000
[donkey grunts]

376
00:29:05.120 --> 00:29:07.680
[Mustafa] People imagine the ancients
living in the desert sands

377
00:29:07.760 --> 00:29:09.760
because that's where we find them now.

378
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:20.440
But this is the Egypt
where Wahtye lived…

379
00:29:21.320 --> 00:29:22.640
[birds cawing]

380
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:28.200
…and he believed that he could take
all this with him.

381
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:32.360
So he spent his whole life
preparing for the next life.

382
00:29:34.520 --> 00:29:36.120
[dog barking]

383
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:46.200
[Hamada] Ancient Egyptians
hoped that after death,

384
00:29:46.280 --> 00:29:49.520
they would live for eternity
in the Field of Reeds,

385
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:54.520
which was a lot like the Egypt they knew,
only better.

386
00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:58.360
But to get there,

387
00:29:58.440 --> 00:30:01.960
they had to go through a series of tests
in the underworld.

388
00:30:09.360 --> 00:30:11.960
The most important of these tests
took place in the hall of judgment

389
00:30:12.040 --> 00:30:14.240
before Osiris,
god of death and resurrection.

390
00:30:17.760 --> 00:30:21.880
To get to paradise, the person
had to stand in front of 42 judges

391
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:24.920
and swear that they had not
committed certain sins…

392
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:33.160
…and so on.

393
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:36.360
After that came
"the weighing of the heart,"

394
00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:43.120
where the person's heart was weighed
against the feather of truth and justice.

395
00:30:45.840 --> 00:30:48.040
If the heart was heavier than the feather,

396
00:30:48.120 --> 00:30:49.880
it would be eaten
by a crocodile-headed demon

397
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:51.600
and the person was lost forever.

398
00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:53.440
[roaring]

399
00:30:56.040 --> 00:30:57.560
[roars]

400
00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:01.040
But if the heart and feather
were in balance,

401
00:31:01.120 --> 00:31:03.080
the person was declared "true of voice"

402
00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:07.320
and the journey
to the Field of Reeds could begin.

403
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:20.960
Okay, same time tomorrow, boss?

404
00:31:21.040 --> 00:31:22.120
[Hamada] Right, okay.

405
00:31:22.760 --> 00:31:24.480
[Ahmed] Don't be late, boss!

406
00:31:25.840 --> 00:31:27.000
[upbeat music playing]

407
00:31:35.080 --> 00:31:36.560
[men chattering indistinctly]

408
00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:40.480
[speaking Arabic]

409
00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:44.120
[men speaking Arabic]

410
00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:48.760
[man speaking Arabic]

411
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:53.160
[men speaking Arabic]

412
00:31:55.320 --> 00:31:56.840
[overlapping chatter]

413
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:10.280
[Hamada] All the work that involves danger
is my work,

414
00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:14.280
because, basically,
I'm the only youthful one on the team.

415
00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:18.120
[men speaking Arabic]

416
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:26.520
[Hamada] But I always liked
difficult things, not easy ones.

417
00:32:26.600 --> 00:32:27.680
[speaking Arabic]

418
00:32:30.600 --> 00:32:32.080
[men chattering indistinctly]

419
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:41.880
[Hamada] The Bubasteion necropolis,
I must say…

420
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:48.840
is a very strange place.

421
00:32:52.320 --> 00:32:55.320
It always gives us
what we aren't expecting…

422
00:32:57.680 --> 00:32:59.160
[men chattering indistinctly]

423
00:33:02.760 --> 00:33:04.360
[Hamada] And that's a wonderful thing.

424
00:33:06.120 --> 00:33:08.360
Hey, Ghareeb! In the name of God!

425
00:33:09.600 --> 00:33:11.840
-What are all these?
-[Ghareeb] It's strange!

426
00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:15.440
[Hamada] In the name of God!

427
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:24.280
No, no, no…

428
00:33:24.360 --> 00:33:25.200
What's this?

429
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:30.880
-Hmm, they're still in their wrappings.
-[Ghareeb] Hmm.

430
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:38.400
[Hamada] Look at this lovely piece,
Ghareeb.

431
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:45.400
This fellow I see before me now is a…

432
00:33:46.120 --> 00:33:46.960
cat!

433
00:33:51.040 --> 00:33:53.160
-See how many there are, Ghareeb?
-[Ghareeb] Yeah.

434
00:33:53.760 --> 00:33:55.440
[Hamada] So many!

435
00:34:02.320 --> 00:34:03.280
Are these all cats?

436
00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:08.400
-Where did they get them from?
-[Ghareeb] I have no idea.

437
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:11.560
But there are so many cats,
it's really shocking.

438
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:15.480
[Hamada] Hello!

439
00:34:16.240 --> 00:34:17.160
What's this, then?

440
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:21.000
Is this supposed to be a cat, Ghareeb?
Well, look!

441
00:34:22.160 --> 00:34:23.360
Oh, my days!

442
00:34:25.240 --> 00:34:28.800
In the name of God!
This is no cat, Ghareeb!

443
00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:31.960
Let's take it into the light.

444
00:34:32.040 --> 00:34:35.120
-[Ghareeb] This is something…
-[Hamada] Something astonishing.

445
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:37.600
[Hamada speaking Arabic]

446
00:34:38.520 --> 00:34:40.320
Is there any cat this size, Ghareeb?

447
00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:42.120
It's as big as my nose!

448
00:34:42.200 --> 00:34:43.360
[Hamada laughs]

449
00:34:45.640 --> 00:34:47.160
Oh, my days!

450
00:34:49.040 --> 00:34:50.120
Flip it over.

451
00:34:50.720 --> 00:34:51.840
Flip it gently.

452
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:53.040
Hello!

453
00:34:53.560 --> 00:34:55.560
-Look!
-[Ghareeb speaking Arabic]

454
00:34:55.640 --> 00:34:57.200
[Hamada] The mouth, it's drawn!

455
00:34:58.160 --> 00:35:00.400
And the eyes and nose…

456
00:35:01.720 --> 00:35:02.680
and the ears too.

457
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:06.320
Masterpiece!

458
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:12.760
Do we have any creature in our country

459
00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:15.080
remotely like this?

460
00:35:15.160 --> 00:35:16.000
[Ghareeb] Nope.

461
00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:21.080
[Hamada] If you had a cat this big,
what would you do with it?

462
00:35:21.160 --> 00:35:24.360
-[Ghareeb] I'd scare the kids with it!
-[Hamada laughs]

463
00:35:27.560 --> 00:35:29.480
[overlapping chatter]

464
00:35:32.120 --> 00:35:33.720
[speaking Arabic]

465
00:35:38.160 --> 00:35:39.640
[Hamada] Could this be a cat?

466
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:50.160
[grunts softly]

467
00:35:53.600 --> 00:35:56.720
-Where will we put all these, Ghareeb?
-[Ghareeb] I don't know.

468
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:03.200
-And they're all cats?
-[Hamada] No, no, no.

469
00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:04.320
Praise God, man.

470
00:36:05.720 --> 00:36:07.120
This is not a cat.

471
00:36:07.200 --> 00:36:08.560
[Ghareeb] Is it a mongoose?

472
00:36:12.200 --> 00:36:14.480
[Hamada] Look at its tail!
Its shape, Ghareeb.

473
00:36:17.120 --> 00:36:18.440
This is a crocodile, boss.

474
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:21.360
-Take this…
-[Ghareeb] Hmm.

475
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:23.720
-[Hamada] …and put it aside.
-[Ghareeb] Sure.

476
00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:25.640
[Hamada] This is something else.

477
00:36:26.200 --> 00:36:27.880
This is a crocodile mummy, boss.

478
00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:33.920
I think we're done, Ghareeb.

479
00:36:35.120 --> 00:36:39.840
We're going to take them out
and get ourselves some fresh air.

480
00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:43.680
[Ghareeb] Send us a crate on two hooks!

481
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:51.520
I want to tell you something.

482
00:36:51.600 --> 00:36:54.120
Since I started working
in this cat necropolis…

483
00:36:55.200 --> 00:36:56.520
[speaking Arabic]

484
00:36:56.600 --> 00:36:59.200
…when cats see me around my house,
they run.

485
00:36:59.880 --> 00:37:01.000
They're afraid of me!

486
00:37:01.520 --> 00:37:04.640
They don't act like pets towards me
like they used to. [laughs]

487
00:37:04.720 --> 00:37:06.080
[men speaking indistinctly]

488
00:37:08.160 --> 00:37:12.000
But when a cat runs, I say to her,
"Well, you have the right.

489
00:37:17.240 --> 00:37:19.840
I just took your ancestors
out of the ground…

490
00:37:21.560 --> 00:37:22.720
and put them in storage."

491
00:37:28.680 --> 00:37:31.760
She's scared
I'll do the same thing to her!

492
00:37:32.520 --> 00:37:33.520
[dog barking]

493
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:35.280
[meows]

494
00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:36.920
[in English] As far as we know,

495
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:39.560
people didn't give their pet cat
as offerings.

496
00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:41.800
[speaking Arabic]

497
00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:43.200
[meows]

498
00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:46.120
[Salima] The ones
that they gave as offerings

499
00:37:46.200 --> 00:37:48.400
were actually bought from the priests.

500
00:37:49.560 --> 00:37:51.320
[in Arabic] Ah, this one is lovely.

501
00:37:52.160 --> 00:37:55.240
[in English] So this is a very nice
Bubasteion special.

502
00:37:57.200 --> 00:38:00.840
So, we think that the priests
would be breeding them,

503
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:03.760
and they'd probably subcontract it out
to villagers

504
00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:05.680
all around the area of Saqqara,

505
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:10.240
where people were farming these cats
and probably having kitten farms as well.

506

[horn honking]

508
00:38:16.560 --> 00:38:19.240
The way a sacred animal cult worked

509
00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:23.360
was that there was one animal
in the temple,

510
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:26.920
which was supposed to be
sort of the divine manifestation

511
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:29.240
of the goddess or the god.

512
00:38:30.240 --> 00:38:34.080
During its lifetime,
this creature would be treated as a god.

513
00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:36.920
Fed, watered, prayed to.

514
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:37.840
[meows]

515
00:38:39.240 --> 00:38:41.560
People would give offerings
to this creature.

516
00:38:42.240 --> 00:38:43.080
[Hamada] Oh.

517
00:38:46.120 --> 00:38:49.080
-It's a beautiful bronze head!
-[man speaking Arabic]

518
00:38:49.160 --> 00:38:51.640
[Salima] They would give
amulets and statues

519
00:38:51.720 --> 00:38:55.600
made of wood, stone, faience,
and even bronze.

520
00:38:58.680 --> 00:38:59.880
[speaking indistinctly]

521
00:38:59.960 --> 00:39:02.200
But they also would give animal mummies,

522
00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:06.480
because, of course, the idea was that
if you make a blood sacrifice to the god,

523
00:39:06.560 --> 00:39:11.000
that would mean perhaps more
than something made out of wood or stone.

524
00:39:11.080 --> 00:39:16.480
But it's in very good shape for what
one would expect after about 2,500 years.

525
00:39:16.560 --> 00:39:18.440
Where the Bubasteion was built,

526
00:39:18.520 --> 00:39:21.000
there were a lot of old tombs
that had been cut

527
00:39:21.080 --> 00:39:23.680
in the past 2,000 years
of Egyptian history.

528
00:39:24.200 --> 00:39:26.760
So, the priests would take them
into these old tombs

529
00:39:26.840 --> 00:39:29.520
-and bury them in mass graves…
-[men speaking Arabic]

530
00:39:30.120 --> 00:39:32.240
[Salima]
…which is what we're finding.

531
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:35.640
-[in Arabic] How's it going?
-[man speaking Arabic]

532
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:44.320
[Hamada] Like anyone else,
I've seen cats of many sizes.

533
00:39:46.080 --> 00:39:49.880
But a cat that's absolutely massive
like this?

534
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:51.360
I've never seen that before.

535
00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:53.360
[men speaking indistinctly]

536
00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:57.680
We need to get the bones tested
to see what it is.

537
00:39:57.760 --> 00:39:59.640
[indistinct chattering]

538
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:23.840
[indistinct chattering]

539
00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:26.880
[Nabil] The evidence

540
00:40:27.520 --> 00:40:33.040
that this tomb contains a riddle

541
00:40:33.520 --> 00:40:34.520
is substantial.

542
00:40:34.600 --> 00:40:36.920
-What is this? Fabulous!
-[Nermeen] There's something.

543
00:40:37.560 --> 00:40:38.720
Look, Nermeen.

544
00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:42.680
There's no other engraving like this.

545
00:40:43.200 --> 00:40:50.080
Next to the first false door,
there is a scene of an offering table…

546
00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:56.160
with the owner sitting
in front of a beautiful lady.

547
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:00.720
I see a few unusual things.

548
00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:03.120
-This is unusual.
-[Nermeen] Right?

549
00:41:03.200 --> 00:41:04.680
[Nabil] All of it is unusual.

550
00:41:05.160 --> 00:41:08.760
Usually, it would be the man and his wife.

551
00:41:09.400 --> 00:41:13.600
So we expected it would be Wahtye
and his wife, Ptah-Weret.

552
00:41:14.640 --> 00:41:18.400
But when we read the inscription…

553
00:41:19.600 --> 00:41:21.400
it says, "His wife, Merit-Min."

554
00:41:23.240 --> 00:41:25.200
We were standing there…

555
00:41:26.200 --> 00:41:27.760
in astonishment.

556
00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:30.000
Because Merit-Min…

557
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:33.800
was his mother!

558
00:41:33.880 --> 00:41:35.120
So we started thinking,

559
00:41:35.200 --> 00:41:37.480
-"Did he marry his mother?"
-[laughs]

560
00:41:37.560 --> 00:41:40.760
Of course that conflicts. It's impossible!

561
00:41:41.600 --> 00:41:43.960
[Nabil] The names have been changed.

562
00:41:45.040 --> 00:41:47.880
-I think they've been tampered with.
-He replaced them.

563
00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:51.040
The names had been scraped off.

564
00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:54.880
Anyone who runs their hand
along the wall would say,

565
00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:58.280
"No, something was afoot here."

566
00:41:58.840 --> 00:41:59.680
Ooh…

567
00:42:01.120 --> 00:42:02.280
Ooh. It isn't Wahtye.

568
00:42:03.120 --> 00:42:06.120
The entire tomb is Wahtye, Wahtye, Wahtye.

569
00:42:06.200 --> 00:42:08.720
-Here is something different.
-Is he a thief then?

570
00:42:10.200 --> 00:42:11.320
He's a thief!

571
00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:13.200
[Nabil] Holy crap.

572
00:42:14.520 --> 00:42:16.400
Is that all? No!

573
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:17.720
The main statue itself!

574
00:42:18.560 --> 00:42:20.520
Looking at the features of that statue…

575
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:22.520
[speaking Arabic]

576
00:42:22.600 --> 00:42:26.000
This statue is different.
It doesn't look like any other statue…

577
00:42:26.080 --> 00:42:27.320
-[Nermeen] Hmm.
-…in the tomb.

578
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:32.680
[Nabil] Clearly a different person
than others in the tomb.

579
00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:38.080
Which makes me even more convinced

580
00:42:38.160 --> 00:42:40.640
that a conspiracy took place here.

581
00:42:40.720 --> 00:42:44.960
I think that Wahtye seized this tomb

582
00:42:46.080 --> 00:42:49.040
and that it wasn't meant for Wahtye
at the beginning.

583
00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:50.920
Who is the victim?

584
00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:53.280
The victim is unknown.

585
00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:55.680
But we have a theory.

586
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:57.640
Yeah. We have a bunch of clues.

587
00:42:58.200 --> 00:43:01.280
There is mention of a brother.
Wahtye's brother.

588
00:43:02.240 --> 00:43:04.000
He's mentioned in the eastern wall.

589
00:43:05.920 --> 00:43:08.720
Wahtye dedicates a song…

590
00:43:09.080 --> 00:43:11.840
[Nabil speaks]

591
00:43:14.120 --> 00:43:15.720
Why didn't he mention his brother's name?

592
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:17.840
I think the dedication of the song

593
00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:20.400
is to assuage his conscience…

594
00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:21.880
-He feels guilty--
-He's feeling guilty!

595
00:43:22.880 --> 00:43:25.280
-So, this man isn't Wahtye?
-No, it isn't Wahtye.

596
00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:26.760
But it could be his brother.

597
00:43:31.120 --> 00:43:32.760
All of these clues…

598
00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:38.880
suggest that Wahtye
seized this tomb from his brother.

599
00:43:40.120 --> 00:43:43.120
So if Wahtye did steal his brother's tomb…

600
00:43:49.520 --> 00:43:51.760
will he be punished in the other world?

601
00:43:52.720 --> 00:43:54.720
[roars]

602
00:43:55.320 --> 00:43:57.600
No, I think he had a plan.

603
00:43:59.720 --> 00:44:03.320
On the last wall we recorded in the tomb,
which was the southern wall,

604
00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:07.520
we found a very large text that says…

605
00:44:08.640 --> 00:44:10.640
[Nermeen speaks]

606
00:44:13.600 --> 00:44:16.520
So he was placing himself in the ranks
of those who judge,

607
00:44:18.160 --> 00:44:21.800
so that he can personally
absolve himself of this sin.

608
00:44:27.520 --> 00:44:29.200
[roars]

609
00:44:31.720 --> 00:44:34.280
[Nabil] So it seems
he really was convinced

610
00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:37.120
that he would evade punishment
and get to the afterlife.

611
00:44:42.520 --> 00:44:45.760
But there are answers
no one could provide but Wahtye himself.

612
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:50.160
As for the burial shafts,

613
00:44:50.240 --> 00:44:53.360
there may be a discovery
that answers all the questions

614
00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:57.480
and all the riddles in Wahtye's tomb.

615
00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:06.280
Everybody ready for a surprise?

616
00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:08.000
-[Ahmed clears throat]
-Okay.

617
00:45:09.600 --> 00:45:10.480
Oh, my God!

618
00:45:10.560 --> 00:45:13.560
-You have this one.
-[Salima, in Arabic] Unbelievable!

619
00:45:13.640 --> 00:45:15.800
-[gasps] Look at the face!
-Unbelievable.

620
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:17.320
My God, look at the face!

621
00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:18.360
Oh, sweetie pie.

622
00:45:19.560 --> 00:45:21.120
[Salima speaking Arabic]

623
00:45:21.200 --> 00:45:22.160
Oh, my God.

624
00:45:22.240 --> 00:45:23.680
[Salima exclaiming]

625
00:45:23.760 --> 00:45:24.680
[in English] Huge.

626
00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:28.040
[Hamada] It's big, I can't imagine
there was ever a cat this size.

627
00:45:28.120 --> 00:45:30.760
[gasps, in English] My God, it's amazing!

628
00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:34.000
[Ahmed] This is the biggest
cat mummy we have ever found.

629
00:45:34.080 --> 00:45:35.960
[Salima, in Arabic] Ah! I see a mustache.

630
00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:39.080
-[Salima laughing]
-[Ahmed] Like Hamada!

631
00:45:39.160 --> 00:45:41.320
-Yes, like Hamada!
-Like Hamada. [laughs]

632
00:45:41.400 --> 00:45:43.520
[speaking Arabic]

633
00:45:43.600 --> 00:45:45.160
This is really interesting.

634
00:45:45.240 --> 00:45:48.080
[in Arabic] On the heads
of other cat mummies,

635
00:45:48.160 --> 00:45:49.360
there might be a scarab up here.

636
00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:51.520
It doesn't look like a scarab. It should.

637
00:45:51.600 --> 00:45:54.760
The other ones have actual scarabs
painted on their heads.

638
00:45:54.840 --> 00:45:57.200
This one, it looks more like a bee
or something.

639
00:45:57.280 --> 00:45:59.040
It's really strange. It's unusual.

640
00:45:59.120 --> 00:46:01.560
[Ahmed]
And there is even this section…

641
00:46:01.640 --> 00:46:03.000
[gasps] Hi, baby!

642
00:46:03.080 --> 00:46:05.240
-…which exposes the fur.
-You can see fur!

643
00:46:06.160 --> 00:46:07.000
[Salima gasps]

644
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:09.920
-[Ahmed] You see the fur.
-[man] What remains of it.

645
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:11.520
[Salima] Okay, okay, okay.

646
00:46:11.600 --> 00:46:15.200
-[man] Golden yellow, a beautiful color.
-[Salima] Golden yellow, oh.

647
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:16.880
It can't be, it can't be.

648
00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:19.080
[all speaking Arabic]

649
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:23.760
[in English] Now you will find out.

650
00:46:28.640 --> 00:46:30.160
[speaking Arabic]

651
00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:33.560
[speaking Arabic]

652
00:46:33.640 --> 00:46:34.720
[in Arabic] All good?

653
00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:37.440
[all speaking Arabic]

654
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:40.680
[Salima] That's the head.

655
00:46:42.200 --> 00:46:45.680
[in English] I'm not 100% sure
what we're looking at,

656
00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:49.000
because the head, unfortunately,
is finished.

657
00:46:49.720 --> 00:46:52.560
It's really very big.

658
00:46:53.520 --> 00:46:54.720
Can you zoom in?

659
00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:00.040
So you can see it's a baby…

660
00:47:00.640 --> 00:47:05.720
because these teeth
are still mostly up inside the gums.

661
00:47:06.200 --> 00:47:07.440
Big canines, huh?

662
00:47:07.520 --> 00:47:08.440
-Yeah.
-They're up…

663
00:47:08.520 --> 00:47:10.960
The teeth have only just started growing.

664
00:47:11.040 --> 00:47:14.320
Okay, go down. Carry on down.

665
00:47:15.120 --> 00:47:17.600
The backbone. Look at the backbone.

666
00:47:18.600 --> 00:47:21.880
[Salima, in English]
The backbone. Nothing's fused.

667
00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:23.680
This is definitely a baby.

668
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:26.920
And it's got an arch
in the backbone. [speaks Arabic]

669
00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:30.880
[in English]
So, if it were stretched out properly,

670
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:32.960
it would be more than a meter.

671
00:47:33.040 --> 00:47:33.960
-Yeah.
-Like this,

672
00:47:34.040 --> 00:47:37.400
-from head to the base of its tail.
-Yeah.

673
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:40.240
-Now, this is no domestic cat.
-[Hamada] Yes.

674
00:47:40.760 --> 00:47:42.560
It's too big for a lynx,

675
00:47:43.040 --> 00:47:45.680
it's not a leopard or a cheetah.

676
00:47:46.240 --> 00:47:49.760
So maybe the design is different
because this is a different species.

677
00:47:49.840 --> 00:47:51.880
-[man speaks Arabic]
-Yeah. Look at this.

678
00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:53.440
Okay, let's just see this.

679
00:47:53.520 --> 00:47:55.840
-Just an idea. It might be wrong.
-Yeah.

680
00:47:55.920 --> 00:47:58.240
Okay. Huh, see?

681
00:47:58.720 --> 00:48:01.360
-Remember the way the lions frown?
-[Hamada] Uh-huh.

682
00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:03.480
Maybe this is supposed to be like that,

683
00:48:03.560 --> 00:48:06.920
and they put the wings on because
they're used to having the scarab.

684
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:08.680
-Yes.
-[speaking Arabic]

685
00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:12.160
[in English] Let's look at a cub.
It's this… This is the long nose…

686
00:48:12.240 --> 00:48:14.480
Yeah, yeah!
That's why the nose is so long!

687
00:48:14.560 --> 00:48:16.440
-You're sure?
-Yes! And the color.

688
00:48:16.520 --> 00:48:17.640
[man speaks in Arabic]

689
00:48:17.720 --> 00:48:21.680
[in Arabic] This is the first time
in the known history of mummification

690
00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:24.400
-that we have a lion here in Saqqara!
-A mummified lion!

691
00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:25.600
[Salima] I hope so!

692
00:48:25.680 --> 00:48:27.560
We think, based on the markings

693
00:48:27.640 --> 00:48:29.280
that are painted on the face,

694
00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:32.720
that this is actually maybe a baby lion.

695
00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:34.080
It's a lion cub.

696
00:48:34.160 --> 00:48:36.000
This is just extraordinary,

697
00:48:36.080 --> 00:48:40.120
because there are stories
of lion catacombs,

698
00:48:40.200 --> 00:48:44.720
and some of us have been looking for years
and years and years for this.

699
00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:47.360
But now, the logical place
is the Bubasteion.

700
00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:49.360
I mean, it's… it's mind-blowing

701
00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:54.120
to think of what this lion might represent
in terms of our understanding

702
00:48:54.680 --> 00:48:58.080
of ancient Egyptian culture,
economy, religion.

703
00:48:58.640 --> 00:49:00.560
It also changes how we think

704
00:49:00.640 --> 00:49:05.200
about how the ancient Egyptians
were interacting with wild animals.

705
00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:08.160
How they might have been breeding them
or keeping them tame,

706
00:49:08.240 --> 00:49:10.040
how they might have used them to worship,

707
00:49:10.120 --> 00:49:13.480
but also, in the same way
as with some of the other animals,

708
00:49:13.560 --> 00:49:17.160
they were breeding them and they were then
giving them as offerings.

709
00:49:17.240 --> 00:49:19.200
It's… It's just… so exciting.

710
00:49:19.680 --> 00:49:23.680
I will tell Ghareeb, uh, "It's a…
It's a baby lion, not a cat, Ghareeb!"

711
00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:26.960
[in Arabic] There will definitely be
a reward for the team.

712
00:49:27.040 --> 00:49:28.960
[Salima laughs]

713
00:49:38.720 --> 00:49:40.200
[wind howling]

714
00:49:52.680 --> 00:49:53.840
[upbeat music playing]

715
00:50:11.320 --> 00:50:15.200
[in Arabic] This area was coming down,
so we've stabilized it.

716
00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:17.720
That's great. Brilliant.

717
00:50:17.800 --> 00:50:22.080
Yeah. We've been waiting so long,
we just want to get on with it.

718
00:50:22.160 --> 00:50:23.520
[man] You can start then.

719
00:50:23.600 --> 00:50:25.200
[speaking Arabic]

720
00:50:25.280 --> 00:50:28.320
Since the first day we entered the tomb…

721
00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:30.160
[speaking Arabic]

722
00:50:30.240 --> 00:50:33.160
[Hamada] …I'd been staring at the sand
in the shafts.

723
00:50:33.240 --> 00:50:35.000
[man] Give word to the workers.

724
00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:40.320
Wondering what we'll find down there.
Wahtye, his secrets, his riddles,

725
00:50:40.400 --> 00:50:42.280
are they finished?

726
00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:46.600
I come in daily hoping,
"Please let us work inside Wahtye today."

727
00:50:48.160 --> 00:50:49.520
I was going to lose my mind!

728
00:50:50.520 --> 00:50:51.800
[Mustafa] Listen up, men!

729
00:50:51.880 --> 00:50:53.520
[men] Yes, Foreman!

730
00:50:53.600 --> 00:50:55.880
[Mustafa] We're ready
to start working in the tomb.

731
00:50:55.960 --> 00:50:59.920
The restoration is complete
and it's all been secured for you.

732
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:02.280
We need hard work and tough men!

733
00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:05.040
-[men speaking Arabic]
-[Mustafa] Do you understand?

734
00:51:05.120 --> 00:51:07.040
-Then let's go!
-[men speaking Arabic]

735
00:51:11.960 --> 00:51:15.200
[Salima] Finding the original
occupants of an old kingdom tomb

736
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:16.920
nowadays would be fantastic.

737
00:51:17.640 --> 00:51:21.760
But it hasn't happened
for the last 60 years, 70 years.

738
00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:24.600
And now, with our greater
technological abilities,

739
00:51:24.680 --> 00:51:28.400
it's the bodies themselves,
the bio-archaeology you can carry out.

740
00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:32.080
-[Mustafa speaking Arabic]
-[Salima] Understanding the skeletons,

741
00:51:32.160 --> 00:51:35.120
being able to see what kind of diseases,
or not, they had.

742
00:51:36.560 --> 00:51:38.800
Trying to find relationships,
if it's a whole family.

743
00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:41.480
[in Arabic] Put those down here.

744
00:51:42.160 --> 00:51:44.720
It would be a real treasure trove.

745
00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:49.800
We'll start with this shaft
and the one Ghareeb is standing in.

746
00:51:49.880 --> 00:51:53.720
In the name of Allah
and may God bless us.

747
00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:55.080
[men speaking Arabic]

748
00:52:01.600 --> 00:52:03.520
We need information, not object.

749
00:52:06.720 --> 00:52:09.640
-[Mustafa speaking Arabic]
-[Mohammad] Make a chain.

750
00:52:09.720 --> 00:52:10.560
You stay here.

751
00:52:10.640 --> 00:52:13.560
[Mustafa] Carry it over your shoulder
and take it outside.

752
00:52:13.640 --> 00:52:16.160
We have statues,
beautiful walls. It's enough.

753
00:52:16.240 --> 00:52:19.680
But we need more information
about him…

754
00:52:19.760 --> 00:52:20.840
[men speaking Arabic]

755
00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:24.400
[Ahmed, in English] …to solve
some mysteries written in his wall.

756
00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:26.080
[men speaking Arabic]

757
00:52:26.600 --> 00:52:29.680
[in English] To understand
what happened in his life.

758
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:32.360
[Mustafa] Pick up any shards.

759
00:52:45.240 --> 00:52:46.080
[man speaking Arabic]

760
00:52:46.160 --> 00:52:48.280
[Mustafa] Any fragments,
pick them up, Ghareeb.

761
00:52:48.760 --> 00:52:51.440
[Mustafa speaking Arabic]

762
00:52:51.520 --> 00:52:53.560
[man singing in Arabic]

763
00:52:54.800 --> 00:52:56.000
[man speaking Arabic]

764
00:52:56.560 --> 00:52:58.400
[man singing in Arabic]

765
00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:04.160
[men singing in Arabic]

766
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:09.440
[Mohammad]
Sometimes, when workmen working…

767
00:53:15.680 --> 00:53:20.240
you feel that you go back many centuries
during the time of ancient Egypt.

768
00:53:25.400 --> 00:53:30.040
You work with the same materials
which the ancient Egyptians used.

769
00:53:37.880 --> 00:53:42.000
Sometimes, we discover the same baskets
used by ancient Egyptians.

770
00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:54.680
Sometimes we discover a chisel…

771
00:53:56.320 --> 00:53:59.200
like a small chisel
which we use until now.

772
00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:03.320
So it's continuation.

773
00:54:03.880 --> 00:54:05.880
Life goes in the same direction.

774
00:54:08.800 --> 00:54:09.960
[indistinct chattering]

775
00:54:15.160 --> 00:54:17.120
-[Osama] Mr. Ahmed!
-[Ahmed] Yes, Osama?

776
00:54:17.200 --> 00:54:19.800
-[Osama] There's something here.
-[Ahmed] What is it?

777
00:54:24.760 --> 00:54:28.280
Oh, yes! It looks like a wooden coffin.

778
00:54:32.120 --> 00:54:35.760
-The head is pointing… to the west.
-[Osama speaking Arabic]

779
00:54:41.960 --> 00:54:42.800
[Ahmed] Mmm.

780
00:54:43.560 --> 00:54:47.600
[Osama] Let's just expose the feet
and move this way as we go.

781
00:54:47.680 --> 00:54:49.920
[Ahmed] Osama, you have to be
very careful here.

782
00:55:07.680 --> 00:55:09.120
[Osama speaking Arabic]

783
00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:17.320
[men speaking Arabic]

784
00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:29.400
[Osama] Something beautiful.
A wonderful coffin!

785
00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:34.040
This is the best coffin we've found
in this condition.

786
00:55:58.480 --> 00:56:00.800
[men speaking indistinctly]

787
00:56:10.160 --> 00:56:11.760
[speaking Arabic]

788
00:56:15.720 --> 00:56:17.560
[in English] As a part of my job,

789
00:56:18.200 --> 00:56:19.400
Secretary General,

790
00:56:19.480 --> 00:56:22.920
it means that I have to stop
by most of the sites in Egypt.

791
00:56:25.880 --> 00:56:26.880
[speaking Arabic]

792
00:56:30.240 --> 00:56:32.960
[in English] This mission,
it's very important science.

793
00:56:34.760 --> 00:56:36.360
[men speaking Arabic]

794
00:56:40.440 --> 00:56:42.360
[Waziri, in English] Opening a coffin…

795
00:56:42.920 --> 00:56:43.800
What's in there?

796
00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:46.680
[speaking Arabic]

797
00:56:48.480 --> 00:56:51.840
[Waziri, in English] Sometimes, we find
a wooden coffin with a mummy

798
00:56:52.760 --> 00:56:54.840
in perfect condition of preservation.

799
00:56:54.920 --> 00:56:56.400
[Waziri speaking Arabic]

800
00:56:56.920 --> 00:56:58.960
[Waziri]
Sometimes, we found nothing.

801
00:57:00.280 --> 00:57:02.440
Maybe the ancient Egyptians
made the coffin,

802
00:57:02.520 --> 00:57:04.000
but there's nothing in there.

803
00:57:05.760 --> 00:57:09.520
So, nobody can be sure what's in there.

804
00:57:10.960 --> 00:57:13.040
[Waziri, in Arabic] Slowly, slowly.

805
00:57:35.560 --> 00:57:36.640
[speaking Arabic]

806
00:57:45.120 --> 00:57:48.600
Mummification is about
trying to preserve your image as yourself.

807
00:57:49.800 --> 00:57:51.680
[Waziri]
What's happened here, Ashraf?

808
00:57:52.480 --> 00:57:54.400
[Mohammad] It looks like it's burnt.

809
00:57:54.880 --> 00:57:58.280
What the Egyptians would do
is stick something up your nose,

810
00:57:58.360 --> 00:58:02.400
break through your bone up here
to access your brain, pull it out,

811
00:58:02.920 --> 00:58:05.480
and then they would make a cut
on the left side

812
00:58:05.560 --> 00:58:07.160
and take out your internal organs.

813
00:58:07.240 --> 00:58:10.920
They'd take out your liver, your lungs,
your stomach, and your intestines.

814
00:58:12.800 --> 00:58:17.080
So, after all of these internal organs
have been removed,

815
00:58:17.160 --> 00:58:19.120
you'd be dried using natron,

816
00:58:19.200 --> 00:58:21.880
which is this combination
of baking soda and salt.

817
00:58:23.120 --> 00:58:26.520
[Sabry, in Arabic]
Why would it look burnt?

818
00:58:27.200 --> 00:58:31.600
[Mohammad] It could be the natron
used in mummification that caused that.

819
00:58:32.160 --> 00:58:33.960
[Sabry] So some sort of…

820
00:58:34.960 --> 00:58:38.280
-chemical reaction has occurred?
-[man speaking Arabic]

821
00:58:38.360 --> 00:58:42.320
[Salima] And then, they would
start to wrap you using linen bandages…

822
00:58:42.800 --> 00:58:45.360
-A female, I think.
-[Mohammad] A female.

823
00:58:45.960 --> 00:58:49.960
[Salima, in English] …and reciting spells
and praying and burning incense.

824
00:58:50.040 --> 00:58:53.200
The bottom half isn't
as badly affected, but it's good linen.

825
00:58:54.000 --> 00:58:58.920
[in English] And all of this, what it did
was transform you from a secular creature

826
00:58:59.000 --> 00:59:00.040
to a sacred being.

827
00:59:00.120 --> 00:59:01.560
[men speaking Arabic]

828
00:59:05.480 --> 00:59:08.200
That would be the end of it
for your life on earth.

829
00:59:08.280 --> 00:59:10.400
[men speaking Arabic]

830
00:59:10.480 --> 00:59:13.560
[Salima] It would be
the start of your life in the afterworld.

831
00:59:13.640 --> 00:59:15.320
[men speaking Arabic]

832
00:59:33.960 --> 00:59:37.200
[Hamada] Mummifying the body
is said to have been influenced

833
00:59:37.280 --> 00:59:39.080
by the story of Osiris and Isis…

834
00:59:41.280 --> 00:59:46.200
which had a profound effect on the way
the ancient Egyptians treated their dead.

835
00:59:48.960 --> 00:59:50.960
Isis and Osiris were brother and sister.

836
00:59:53.800 --> 00:59:55.840
Osiris was ruling the world

837
00:59:57.120 --> 00:59:59.520
-until his brother Seth murdered him…
-[groaning]

838
00:59:59.600 --> 01:00:02.960
…and cut him into pieces that were spread
across the lands of Egypt.

839
01:00:03.640 --> 01:00:04.960
Isis was a magician.

840
01:00:05.640 --> 01:00:07.800
She went around Egypt
collecting his pieces,

841
01:00:07.880 --> 01:00:11.200
binding them together with linen
in the first act of mummification.

842
01:00:12.360 --> 01:00:16.280
Through this, she brought him back to life

843
01:00:17.880 --> 01:00:19.600
and had their son Horus.

844
01:00:20.520 --> 01:00:23.400
Horus grew up
to avenge his father's murder

845
01:00:24.360 --> 01:00:26.520
and rule Egypt as king of life on Earth.

846
01:00:27.760 --> 01:00:30.280
Osiris became king of the underworld

847
01:00:31.720 --> 01:00:33.640
and the god of death and resurrection.

848
01:00:43.880 --> 01:00:47.120
That conviction in the power
of mummification to transcend death…

849
01:00:49.320 --> 01:00:52.680
was right at the heart
of ancient Egyptian belief.

850
01:01:02.840 --> 01:01:05.320
[men speaking indistinctly]

851
01:01:14.120 --> 01:01:17.200
[Mustafa] Get Dr. Mohammad
and tell him the foreman needs him.

852
01:01:20.480 --> 01:01:21.360
[man] Mr. Ahmed!

853
01:01:25.640 --> 01:01:26.680
[speaking Arabic]

854
01:01:32.960 --> 01:01:35.880
[Ahmed, in English]
They reached the floor of the shaft.

855
01:01:35.960 --> 01:01:38.120
So, this is very bad news.

856
01:01:38.200 --> 01:01:39.320
[man speaking Arabic]

857
01:01:39.400 --> 01:01:42.200
[in English] I don't know why.
'Cause the shaft is big,

858
01:01:42.280 --> 01:01:43.840
like one meter by one meter.

859
01:01:46.400 --> 01:01:49.720
Usually, these shafts
with these measurements go deeper,

860
01:01:49.800 --> 01:01:53.000
like six or seven meters
with the room down.

861
01:01:53.600 --> 01:01:58.040
But, unfortunately,
this one finished quickly.

862
01:01:58.600 --> 01:02:02.000
We don't know why.
And they also…. They found some…

863
01:02:03.520 --> 01:02:05.680
what remains of… of fragments of pottery.

864
01:02:06.240 --> 01:02:08.360
-This came from down there?
-[Mustafa] Yes.

865
01:02:08.440 --> 01:02:11.560
-[Ahmed] These bones too?
-[Mustafa] Yeah, the loose bone too.

866
01:02:13.360 --> 01:02:17.080
[Ahmed, in English] So they follow it here
in the shaft. This… bad signs.

867
01:02:19.280 --> 01:02:21.840
[Ahmed, in Arabic] Boss,
this is very disappointing.

868
01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:25.840
The shaft has bottomed out already.

869
01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:27.800
Only 60 centimeters deep.

870
01:02:27.880 --> 01:02:29.600
-[Mustafa] Hmm.
-[Ahmed] That's it.

871
01:02:39.800 --> 01:02:41.880
[man speaking Arabic]

872
01:02:41.960 --> 01:02:44.000
[man speaks Arabic, then laughs]

873
01:02:44.080 --> 01:02:45.760
[men continue speaking Arabic]

874
01:02:47.720 --> 01:02:48.720
[tool digging]

875
01:02:53.320 --> 01:02:55.200
I am Ghareeb Ali Mohammed Abushousha.

876
01:02:57.240 --> 01:02:59.360
I work as a digger.

877
01:03:06.840 --> 01:03:10.800
I've been working here since long ago.
My father worked here before me.

878
01:03:12.040 --> 01:03:15.040
Thirty or forty… maybe fifty years ago.

879
01:03:21.040 --> 01:03:24.720
When I'm working, all my thoughts
are about what's in front of me.

880
01:03:26.080 --> 01:03:30.440
It's not just mindless digging, no.

881
01:03:31.360 --> 01:03:33.480
When you're holding the mattock,

882
01:03:33.560 --> 01:03:35.400
you have to have some sense.

883
01:03:37.280 --> 01:03:40.160
Are you going to find something?
You have to be prepared.

884
01:03:40.240 --> 01:03:44.840
You could come across a mummy,
a bone, a fragment of something.

885
01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:47.120
You have to be ready for that.

886
01:03:48.640 --> 01:03:51.120
A novice will end up breaking the thing.

887
01:03:53.120 --> 01:03:54.000
Mahmoud!

888
01:03:55.000 --> 01:03:57.120
-[men speaking Arabic]
-Mahmoud, come here!

889
01:03:57.800 --> 01:03:58.640
[sniffs]

890
01:04:08.280 --> 01:04:09.960
Sit down here, Mahmoud, sit here.

891
01:04:12.280 --> 01:04:13.760
Sit beside me. Have some tea.

892
01:04:16.200 --> 01:04:17.680
This is Mahmoud, my son.

893
01:04:18.880 --> 01:04:21.920
I brought him here to learn the ropes.

894
01:04:24.760 --> 01:04:28.160
So when the foreman needs him to work,
he'll have experience.

895
01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:35.360
If he stayed at home,

896
01:04:36.400 --> 01:04:37.600
he'd learn nothing.

897
01:04:37.680 --> 01:04:40.880
Then I wouldn't be happy.

898
01:04:44.320 --> 01:04:46.680
My happiness is having him here with me.

899
01:04:49.120 --> 01:04:51.040
-[man speaking Arabic]
-[donkey snorts]

900
01:04:59.440 --> 01:05:02.040
[Hamada speaking Arabic]

901
01:05:05.960 --> 01:05:07.280
[Hamada] What can you see?

902
01:05:07.360 --> 01:05:10.640
[Ghareeb] There's a wall here, I think,
a mudbrick wall.

903
01:05:11.520 --> 01:05:12.600
[Hamada] On which side?

904
01:05:12.680 --> 01:05:15.520
-[Ghareeb] Eastern side.
-[Hamada] The eastern side?

905
01:05:15.600 --> 01:05:17.360
Isn't it a bit strange, east?

906
01:05:18.040 --> 01:05:20.040
[Ahmed] It should be west.

907
01:05:20.120 --> 01:05:23.000
-[Hamada] Are you joking, Ghareeb?
-[Ghareeb] I'm serious.

908
01:05:24.160 --> 01:05:26.720
Be careful, his eyesight is bad
and it worries me.

909
01:05:26.800 --> 01:05:28.720
-[Ahmed chuckles]
-I don't trust him!

910
01:05:29.320 --> 01:05:30.720
Be careful, watch out.

911
01:05:30.800 --> 01:05:33.320
If it turns out
you're winding me up, Ghareeb…

912
01:05:34.760 --> 01:05:36.640
-It's all good.
-[man speaking Arabic]

913
01:05:39.800 --> 01:05:41.800
[men speaking Arabic]

914
01:05:48.520 --> 01:05:50.400
-[Hamada] Unbelievable!
-[Ghareeb] Mm.

915
01:05:51.040 --> 01:05:53.200
-[Hamada] It is a wall.
-[Ghareeb] Mm.

916
01:05:53.280 --> 01:05:55.520
It reminds me of the wall
blocking Wahtye's tomb.

917
01:05:55.600 --> 01:05:57.920
[Ghareeb] Turns out what I said was true?

918
01:05:58.000 --> 01:05:59.920
Yes, and I have a big reward for you!

919
01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:00.840
[Ghareeb] Fine.

920
01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:07.320
-There is something wooden.
-[Ahmed] What?

921
01:06:07.400 --> 01:06:09.800
[Hamada] Something wooden
has started to appear.

922
01:06:10.360 --> 01:06:13.120
About three centimeters of something wood.

923
01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:14.840
[Ahmed] Hmm.

924
01:06:33.840 --> 01:06:35.520
[Hamada] What I can see now is…

925
01:06:36.520 --> 01:06:37.360
there's a lid.

926
01:06:40.480 --> 01:06:43.320
-It's a great feeling…
-[man speaks Arabic]

927
01:06:43.400 --> 01:06:46.560
[Hamada] …taking apart something
from more than 4,000 years ago.

928
01:06:47.880 --> 01:06:51.280
The first hand to touch it
after the ancient Egyptian who sealed it.

929
01:06:53.080 --> 01:06:55.560
For that to be your hand
is something phenomenal.

930
01:06:58.200 --> 01:07:00.200
It's strange how well-sealed it is!

931
01:07:00.280 --> 01:07:02.240
The person who sealed it is saying,

932
01:07:02.320 --> 01:07:05.360
"Nobody come near it,
nobody even get close to it."

933
01:07:10.400 --> 01:07:12.760
-[men speaking Arabic]
-[Mohammad] Peace be upon you!

934
01:07:12.840 --> 01:07:17.080
-[Ahmed] How's it going?
-[Mohammad] All good. Thank God.

935
01:07:17.760 --> 01:07:19.880
[Ahmed]
Hamada is performing a heroic deed.

936
01:07:20.360 --> 01:07:23.320
[Hamada] This space is tight and hot
and really terrible!

937
01:07:24.360 --> 01:07:27.640
[Mohammad] But you're the first hand
to open the blockage, Hamada!

938
01:07:27.720 --> 01:07:29.480
[Hamada] It's my only consolation.

939
01:07:29.560 --> 01:07:30.520
[chuckles]

940
01:07:32.360 --> 01:07:34.880
[men speaking Arabic]

941
01:07:36.680 --> 01:07:38.840
[Mohammad] Take a look, Hamada.
What is that?

942
01:07:38.920 --> 01:07:40.680
Is that mud or what?

943
01:07:40.760 --> 01:07:41.840
[Hamada] Yeah, mud.

944
01:07:42.520 --> 01:07:44.400
[Mohammad] Because of the water.

945
01:07:44.480 --> 01:07:47.080
When rain seeped
through the ceiling cracks,

946
01:07:47.160 --> 01:07:50.760
it brought dirt with it,
which will have filled up the coffin too.

947
01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:54.400
So it'll be impossible
to get it out in one piece.

948
01:07:55.920 --> 01:07:57.840
[Ahmed] No, it'll come out intact.

949
01:07:57.920 --> 01:08:00.640
That's impossible!
Get that block on the left first.

950
01:08:00.720 --> 01:08:02.880
-[Ahmed] That one?
-[Mohammad] To make room.

951
01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:04.480
Yes, yes.

952
01:08:04.560 --> 01:08:05.640
[digging]

953
01:08:08.200 --> 01:08:09.120
[gasps]

954
01:08:12.800 --> 01:08:15.200
I told you not to touch that.

955
01:08:15.280 --> 01:08:17.800
[Hamada] I didn't touch anything.
I didn't even come close!

956
01:08:27.600 --> 01:08:30.480
Look, in front of him,
it's like a concrete wall.

957
01:08:30.560 --> 01:08:31.680
[Ahmed] Hmm, hmm.

958
01:08:31.760 --> 01:08:34.200
It was compressed
after it filled in the space.

959
01:08:34.280 --> 01:08:36.200
-[Hamada] It's solid, boss.
-[speaks Arabic]

960
01:08:36.280 --> 01:08:39.200
The coffin is full of mud
and it's packed tight.

961
01:08:41.160 --> 01:08:42.080
[Hamada grunts]

962
01:08:42.160 --> 01:08:45.440
-And there's a skeleton inside!
-[Mohammad] Thank God!

963
01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:47.880
[Hamada] I'll collect the bones.

964
01:08:47.960 --> 01:08:49.200
Unbelievable…

965
01:08:50.000 --> 01:08:53.720
We've been waiting a long time
to know anything about him.

966
01:08:55.400 --> 01:08:56.520
Pass the wood up.

967
01:08:57.320 --> 01:09:00.000
-[Mohammad speaks Arabic]
-[Hamada sighs]

968
01:09:01.040 --> 01:09:02.000
[speaking Arabic]

969
01:09:04.720 --> 01:09:06.840
[Mohammad] Look, only 32 centimeters.

970
01:09:07.440 --> 01:09:09.440
It must be for a young child.

971
01:09:11.440 --> 01:09:12.680
[Hamada] Hey, Doctor!

972
01:09:12.760 --> 01:09:15.560
[men speaking Arabic]

973
01:09:15.640 --> 01:09:18.200
-[Hamada] Check this out.
-[Mohammad] A molar.

974
01:09:22.840 --> 01:09:24.360
[Hamada] Working at the site,

975
01:09:24.440 --> 01:09:28.520
it's a naturally morbid place.

976
01:09:29.600 --> 01:09:31.080
[Mohammad] They're teeth.

977
01:09:31.160 --> 01:09:34.760
-[Hamada] You're in the world of the dead.
-[Mohammad] It's even rotten.

978
01:09:36.080 --> 01:09:38.120
[Hamada] Child burials in particular.

979
01:09:38.200 --> 01:09:41.600
I mean, my heart breaks
when I see the remains of a child.

980
01:09:41.680 --> 01:09:45.400
[Mohammad] These teeth have come
from the mummy down there.

981
01:09:45.480 --> 01:09:48.800
-They're molars, but they're very small.
-[Mustafa] How old?

982
01:09:48.880 --> 01:09:51.600
[Mohammad] More like 14, 15…
something like that.

983
01:09:53.680 --> 01:09:55.600
We thought that it is a child.

984
01:09:56.400 --> 01:09:57.720
But not just one.

985
01:09:57.800 --> 01:09:59.440
It is more than one child.

986
01:09:59.960 --> 01:10:01.560
We collect all these bones,

987
01:10:01.640 --> 01:10:05.760
and we ask our anthropologist who comes
and investigates these bones for us.

988
01:10:09.240 --> 01:10:11.640
-[dog growls]
-[men speaking Arabic]

989
01:10:44.480 --> 01:10:47.400
[Amira] Every piece of bone
can tell you something.

990
01:10:50.200 --> 01:10:51.720
Not only the way of death.

991
01:10:54.080 --> 01:10:57.120
The more interesting stories
are about their lives.

992
01:10:58.520 --> 01:10:59.560
How did they live?

993
01:11:00.080 --> 01:11:02.120
That's five… [speaks indistinctly]

994
01:11:02.200 --> 01:11:05.120
Was he healthy? Was he happy?

995
01:11:06.840 --> 01:11:07.800
Was he sad?

996
01:11:09.680 --> 01:11:12.840
It can be known, just on the bones.

997
01:11:17.080 --> 01:11:20.880
My name is Amira Shaheen.
I'm a professor of rheumatology

998
01:11:20.960 --> 01:11:23.520
in Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University.

999
01:11:25.400 --> 01:11:28.160
And I work here to examine the bones

1000
01:11:28.240 --> 01:11:31.560
which are found
in the different expeditions.

1001
01:11:34.520 --> 01:11:38.440
I'm going to spread this one,
and then I'm going to study their pieces.

1002
01:11:42.840 --> 01:11:45.480
When Dr. Sabry asked me to come,

1003
01:11:46.040 --> 01:11:48.320
he told me there are
small bones for children.

1004
01:11:48.400 --> 01:11:49.600
How many, we don't know.

1005
01:11:50.160 --> 01:11:51.000
That's it.

1006
01:11:52.520 --> 01:11:55.920
It's important we find, um,
the number of persons,

1007
01:11:56.000 --> 01:12:00.720
and we want to know the common traits
or the different features of the bones.

1008
01:12:06.440 --> 01:12:08.760
First of all, I say, "As-salamu alaykum."

1009
01:12:10.320 --> 01:12:15.680
I feel that I'm coming, introducing myself
to someone who is sitting in front of me.

1010
01:12:17.400 --> 01:12:20.200
Even if he is, or she is, in pieces.

1011
01:12:21.440 --> 01:12:24.040
These small pieces, this is, um…

1012
01:12:24.680 --> 01:12:28.440
It's the same way
that I approach a… a friend.

1013
01:12:28.920 --> 01:12:32.240
This is the right humerus,
so I should put it here.

1014
01:12:38.680 --> 01:12:40.840
I don't know how
to get feelings from bones,

1015
01:12:40.920 --> 01:12:43.480
but I can feel it. You can feel it.

1016
01:12:46.800 --> 01:12:50.200
And this is the right clavicle
of one of them.

1017
01:12:51.840 --> 01:12:52.680
[sniffs]

1018
01:12:56.480 --> 01:13:01.040
The shaft nearest the door
had the bones of two teenage children.

1019
01:13:03.960 --> 01:13:07.280
We have this sacrum,
and the other one which is large,

1020
01:13:08.120 --> 01:13:12.080
and both are still not un-united, not…
[speaks indistinctly]

1021
01:13:12.640 --> 01:13:14.560
One of them was younger than 20,

1022
01:13:14.640 --> 01:13:17.880
and the other one was…
most were younger than 18.

1023
01:13:18.440 --> 01:13:20.160
By comparing the size of bones,

1024
01:13:20.240 --> 01:13:23.080
I think these bones are the…
the one with…

1025
01:13:23.160 --> 01:13:25.520
[inhales sharply] 18 to 20.

1026
01:13:27.720 --> 01:13:30.200
Yes, and this… this is the younger one.

1027
01:13:32.760 --> 01:13:35.200
And there were pieces of bone,

1028
01:13:35.280 --> 01:13:40.160
most probably related to a younger person,
maybe below six years old.

1029
01:13:41.400 --> 01:13:42.320
Cervical…

1030
01:13:44.280 --> 01:13:45.400
On the first one.

1031
01:13:48.520 --> 01:13:49.360
[sniffs]

1032
01:13:51.480 --> 01:13:55.800
I find in one box,
which contains three skeletons,

1033
01:13:56.360 --> 01:13:59.560
we have a strange situation
of this family,

1034
01:14:00.120 --> 01:14:03.640
with the death of three of their children
at the same time.

1035
01:14:03.720 --> 01:14:05.840
[speaking Arabic]

1036
01:14:05.920 --> 01:14:07.520
[in English] What happened here?

1037
01:14:13.680 --> 01:14:15.760
[people chattering indistinctly
in Arabic]

1038
01:14:17.480 --> 01:14:18.600
[dog barking]

1039
01:14:23.160 --> 01:14:26.160
[Mohammad, in English]
According to the reliefs in the tomb,

1040
01:14:26.240 --> 01:14:30.040
we have Wahtye, and his mother,
and his wife, and his four children.

1041
01:14:31.800 --> 01:14:33.600
We have, now, three children.

1042
01:14:34.800 --> 01:14:38.000
So we start to search
for the other part from the family.

1043
01:14:38.080 --> 01:14:40.800
[in Arabic] All right, obviously,
this shaft is done.

1044
01:14:40.880 --> 01:14:44.840
Now it'll be easier for the workers
to work over here.

1045
01:14:45.400 --> 01:14:48.240
Come on, Hashem,
we're going to work in this shaft.

1046
01:14:48.320 --> 01:14:50.240
[speaking Arabic]

1047
01:14:57.480 --> 01:14:58.920
[man speaking Arabic]

1048
01:15:09.440 --> 01:15:10.280
[dog whimpers]

1049
01:15:10.360 --> 01:15:11.360
[engine revs]

1050
01:15:23.160 --> 01:15:24.320
[men speaking Arabic]

1051
01:15:24.920 --> 01:15:27.200
[wheelbarrow squeaking]

1052
01:15:28.640 --> 01:15:30.400
[Ahmed] What have you found?

1053
01:15:30.480 --> 01:15:32.080
Beautiful, beautiful.

1054
01:15:32.760 --> 01:15:33.720
What's this beauty?

1055
01:15:35.680 --> 01:15:39.800
[in English] It's a complete burial,
um, late, late period, like 600 BC.

1056
01:15:39.880 --> 01:15:41.840
More than 2,600 years old.

1057
01:15:42.360 --> 01:15:43.480
The bones, it's, um…

1058
01:15:43.960 --> 01:15:45.320
collapsed, as you see.

1059
01:15:45.400 --> 01:15:48.240
It still has the equipment
for the afterlife.

1060
01:15:50.440 --> 01:15:52.000
[Mustafa] The box, Mr. Ahmed?

1061
01:15:52.600 --> 01:15:55.120
[Ahmed] Yes, a very beautiful box,
Foreman Mustafa.

1062
01:15:55.680 --> 01:15:57.680
[Mustafa] A unique piece, Mr. Ahmed.

1063
01:15:59.680 --> 01:16:01.680
[Ahmed] Hmm… [sighs]

1064
01:16:02.560 --> 01:16:03.520
[sighs]

1065
01:16:04.680 --> 01:16:06.840
-[blows]
-[Mustafa] Is it a game, Mr. Ahmed?

1066
01:16:06.920 --> 01:16:09.560
[Ahmed] Yeah, Senet.
It's a bit like chess.

1067
01:16:09.640 --> 01:16:13.200
[Mustafa] Wow. These people
were so cool to play chess.

1068
01:16:13.840 --> 01:16:15.040
[speaking Arabic]

1069
01:16:17.480 --> 01:16:19.640
Look what's inside.

1070
01:16:19.720 --> 01:16:21.000
[Mustafa] This is bone.

1071
01:16:21.080 --> 01:16:23.240
[Ahmed] Must've had a function
in the game.

1072
01:16:23.960 --> 01:16:24.800
Hmm.

1073
01:16:24.880 --> 01:16:27.040
[men speaking Arabic]

1074
01:16:27.120 --> 01:16:29.280
[Mustafa] We can arrange them
like this and play,

1075
01:16:29.360 --> 01:16:31.120
-you and I, Mr. Ahmed.
-[Ahmed laughs]

1076
01:16:31.960 --> 01:16:34.440
[in English] This is, um,
something to play,

1077
01:16:34.520 --> 01:16:36.360
like chess in our life today.

1078
01:16:36.840 --> 01:16:38.680
In ancient times, it's called Senet.

1079
01:16:39.440 --> 01:16:42.080
I don't know exactly how they can play.

1080
01:16:42.160 --> 01:16:47.280
I don't understand, because here,
we have like, uh, 20 places.

1081
01:16:47.360 --> 01:16:48.640
And that one has 30.

1082
01:16:48.720 --> 01:16:51.000
I don't know the function of it,
how they can play.

1083
01:16:54.720 --> 01:16:59.480
…14, 15, 17…

1084
01:17:00.120 --> 01:17:02.120
-…19.
-[Ahmed] These are bones.

1085
01:17:02.200 --> 01:17:04.440
[Mustafa] They look like vertebrae.

1086
01:17:04.520 --> 01:17:07.600
-[Ahmed] Where do the bones go?
-[Mustafa] I don't know.

1087
01:17:07.680 --> 01:17:10.240
-No one knows how to arrange them.
-[Mustafa] Mm.

1088
01:17:11.920 --> 01:17:14.000
[Ahmed] Put them all next to each other.

1089
01:17:28.080 --> 01:17:30.080
[tools digging]

1090
01:17:34.600 --> 01:17:35.760
[man speaks Arabic]

1091
01:17:38.640 --> 01:17:39.760
[Osama] Mr. Sabry!

1092
01:17:41.760 --> 01:17:43.040
[Ahmed] What's up, Osama?

1093
01:17:43.880 --> 01:17:46.120
[Osama] Foreman,
there's a hole in the cliff!

1094
01:17:46.200 --> 01:17:47.200
[Mustafa] Mr. Sabry!

1095
01:17:47.920 --> 01:17:49.720
[men speaking Arabic]

1096
01:18:14.240 --> 01:18:15.840
[men speaking Arabic]

1097
01:18:15.920 --> 01:18:18.760
[Mohammad] Have you got a flashlight?

1098
01:18:19.240 --> 01:18:20.480
Mahdi, get a flashlight!

1099
01:18:22.640 --> 01:18:23.880
Faster, Mahdi!

1100
01:18:24.640 --> 01:18:25.880
[speaking Arabic]

1101
01:18:28.160 --> 01:18:30.440
[Mohammad and Ahmed speaking Arabic]

1102
01:18:33.160 --> 01:18:34.360
[man speaking Arabic]

1103
01:18:35.480 --> 01:18:36.320
[man grunts]

1104
01:18:40.840 --> 01:18:42.200
[Mohammad] There's a skull.

1105
01:18:42.960 --> 01:18:45.720
-That's two, three skulls.
-[Ahmed] Hmm.

1106
01:18:45.800 --> 01:18:49.440
Looks like a stack of burials inside.

1107
01:18:49.520 --> 01:18:50.640
[Ahmed] Look, boss.

1108
01:18:51.200 --> 01:18:52.760
[sighs]

1109
01:18:56.160 --> 01:18:57.320
[man speaking Arabic]

1110
01:18:57.840 --> 01:19:01.000
[Mohammad] Look,
there's something beautiful here.

1111
01:19:01.080 --> 01:19:04.080
-[Ahmed] Where?
-[Mohammad] Right there!

1112
01:19:04.160 --> 01:19:05.800
Look, see? It's there!

1113
01:19:06.320 --> 01:19:07.200
There.

1114
01:19:13.680 --> 01:19:14.720
[speaking Arabic]

1115
01:19:14.800 --> 01:19:19.360
Looks like a hollow
of around three meters.

1116
01:19:19.920 --> 01:19:21.000
[in English] I think…

1117
01:19:21.920 --> 01:19:26.440
this hole is from around
13th and the 12th century BC.

1118
01:19:29.880 --> 01:19:34.280
We now clean this to see
where's the entrance of this hole?

1119
01:19:34.360 --> 01:19:36.000
Because it must be in this area.

1120
01:19:38.120 --> 01:19:39.200
[man speaking Arabic]

1121
01:19:41.760 --> 01:19:43.600
Let's bring it all down.

1122
01:19:44.480 --> 01:19:46.120
[men speaking Arabic]

1123
01:19:46.680 --> 01:19:48.120
[Mohammad] Give me your hand, Osama.

1124
01:19:51.120 --> 01:19:53.000
[Hamada] Oh, whoa!

1125
01:19:53.680 --> 01:19:56.960
-Very beautiful, Dr. Mohammad!
-[men agreeing]

1126
01:19:58.920 --> 01:20:01.160
Clear a path.

1127
01:20:02.800 --> 01:20:04.640
[in English] It is a burial chamber.

1128
01:20:05.400 --> 01:20:08.680
We discover in it some wooden coffins…

1129
01:20:09.360 --> 01:20:10.400
[Mohammad grunts]

1130
01:20:11.440 --> 01:20:12.760
…and some bones.

1131
01:20:12.840 --> 01:20:14.680
[Mohammad speaking Arabic]

1132
01:20:15.200 --> 01:20:18.760
I think there's another entrance here,
Dr. Mohammad.

1133
01:20:20.120 --> 01:20:21.000
[speaking Arabic]

1134
01:20:21.080 --> 01:20:23.240
[in English]
And we also find another hole.

1135
01:20:24.520 --> 01:20:26.000
[Osama] There's a big cavity in here.

1136
01:20:27.960 --> 01:20:30.520
Dr. Mustafa comes
and we start to find the coffin,

1137
01:20:30.600 --> 01:20:31.440
wooden coffin.

1138
01:20:31.520 --> 01:20:33.160
[Mustafa speaking Arabic]

1139
01:20:34.520 --> 01:20:36.480
Let's go! One… two… three!

1140
01:20:37.000 --> 01:20:38.280
Lift, Hamada!

1141
01:20:38.360 --> 01:20:39.720
[men speaking Arabic]

1142
01:20:48.760 --> 01:20:50.640
[Mustafa] The colors are beautiful,
God bless.

1143
01:20:51.560 --> 01:20:52.640
[men speaking Arabic]

1144
01:20:55.600 --> 01:20:59.000
Gather your strength, you lot!
Put your backs into it!

1145
01:20:59.080 --> 01:21:00.720
Move it straight away!

1146
01:21:00.800 --> 01:21:03.200
Come on, lift! Lift, boy, lift!

1147
01:21:03.280 --> 01:21:05.040
Easy, easy!

1148
01:21:05.120 --> 01:21:07.960
[men speaking Arabic]

1149
01:21:08.960 --> 01:21:10.360
[Osama] With them, Ashraf!

1150
01:21:12.120 --> 01:21:13.720
[men speaking Arabic]

1151
01:21:26.440 --> 01:21:30.040
[Ahmed, in English] This is all…
For me and for all Saqqara, it's unique.

1152
01:21:30.560 --> 01:21:33.400
Some missions working
for one, two or three months,

1153
01:21:33.480 --> 01:21:34.760
and nothing found.

1154
01:21:34.840 --> 01:21:36.320
And here, as you see today,

1155
01:21:36.400 --> 01:21:38.720
every 30 seconds, we found something new.

1156
01:21:39.200 --> 01:21:43.440
So, in all this one year,
complete one year from April to April,

1157
01:21:43.520 --> 01:21:45.520
we have three storerooms complete,

1158
01:21:45.600 --> 01:21:47.160
full of masterpieces,

1159
01:21:47.240 --> 01:21:49.360
and that one in the lab, with Dr. Ashraf,

1160
01:21:49.440 --> 01:21:51.880
will have also many boxes
full of masterpieces.

1161
01:21:53.360 --> 01:21:56.760
All of these things found here
at Saqqara, in our site.

1162
01:22:07.840 --> 01:22:11.360
[Mohammad speaking Arabic]

1163
01:22:17.720 --> 01:22:19.880
-[Hamada] Dr. Mohammad?
-[Mohammad] Yes?

1164
01:22:22.640 --> 01:22:25.400
-[Osama] There are bones here.
-[Mohammad speaks Arabic]

1165
01:22:26.880 --> 01:22:28.640
-[Mohammad] What's that?
-[Osama] A skull.

1166
01:22:29.920 --> 01:22:33.840
[Mohammad] Is it just a skull on its own?
Not part of a burial or anything?

1167
01:22:36.280 --> 01:22:38.720
All right, look, Osama. Grab that!

1168
01:22:40.000 --> 01:22:41.400
Look out, Osama.

1169
01:22:48.480 --> 01:22:50.360
There's a head…

1170
01:22:50.960 --> 01:22:52.680
-[Osama] A skull?
-[Mohammad] Yeah.

1171
01:22:52.760 --> 01:22:55.720
-All the bones are piled in this corner.
-[Osama] Hmm. Hmm.

1172
01:22:55.800 --> 01:22:58.160
[Mohammad] I think it's more
than one person.

1173
01:23:00.680 --> 01:23:03.240
[Mohammad, in English]
This shaft is strange for us.

1174
01:23:03.920 --> 01:23:07.440
We didn't find a burial chamber
in this shaft.

1175
01:23:08.520 --> 01:23:10.680
It's just two meters and stop.

1176
01:23:10.760 --> 01:23:11.960
[man speaking Arabic]

1177
01:23:12.040 --> 01:23:14.840
[Mohammad]
But we find the remains of two skeletons.

1178
01:23:14.920 --> 01:23:15.760
Hmm.

1179
01:23:18.560 --> 01:23:22.080
It looks like it's standing
because the bones go…

1180
01:23:22.640 --> 01:23:24.160
uh… uh, from top to bottom.

1181
01:23:25.000 --> 01:23:29.160
There are things that are turned over,
but they're small as well.

1182
01:23:30.480 --> 01:23:32.960
[Mohammad]
Why these people buried this way?

1183
01:23:34.920 --> 01:23:37.600
Why they didn't make a coffin
for each one?

1184
01:23:38.680 --> 01:23:42.560
I think they are buried quickly
in this shaft.

1185
01:23:42.640 --> 01:23:45.200
[camera clicking]

1186
01:23:46.920 --> 01:23:49.360
[in Arabic]
I mean, it's been crammed in here.

1187
01:23:51.760 --> 01:23:55.120
[in English] Could be something happened
to the family of Wahtye.

1188
01:23:57.560 --> 01:23:59.280
[birds chirping]

1189
01:24:04.600 --> 01:24:07.080
[men speaking Arabic]

1190
01:24:17.040 --> 01:24:19.000
[in English] So, on the glabella…

1191
01:24:21.920 --> 01:24:24.400
it is smooth, it's not that…

1192
01:24:25.240 --> 01:24:26.280
prominent,

1193
01:24:26.360 --> 01:24:27.840
so she is a female.

1194
01:24:30.480 --> 01:24:32.080
Most probably a nice lady.

1195
01:24:33.640 --> 01:24:35.360
Still, we don't know her age.

1196
01:24:37.840 --> 01:24:43.960
The middle shaft was another bag
with totally destroyed bones,

1197
01:24:44.600 --> 01:24:46.160
totally covered by mud.

1198
01:24:49.240 --> 01:24:50.600
It's very fragile.

1199
01:24:52.280 --> 01:24:56.120
This mandible is pushed to the front.

1200
01:24:56.600 --> 01:24:59.360
I think because the effect of the mud.

1201
01:25:01.840 --> 01:25:05.960
Still, we need to clean the teeth
in order to see her age.

1202
01:25:07.120 --> 01:25:09.480
I found the skull of an old woman,

1203
01:25:10.120 --> 01:25:11.600
more than 55.

1204
01:25:13.120 --> 01:25:19.800
So I'm trying to see something
about how… how did this woman die.

1205
01:25:20.480 --> 01:25:22.640
The old woman had, uh…

1206
01:25:22.720 --> 01:25:25.600
some swelling here in the mandible,

1207
01:25:25.680 --> 01:25:27.400
in the inner side of the mandible.

1208
01:25:27.920 --> 01:25:31.840
The bone was distended, uh, from inside

1209
01:25:31.920 --> 01:25:34.280
with a cystic-like swelling.

1210
01:25:37.080 --> 01:25:40.200
I think I removed most of the mud.

1211
01:25:41.680 --> 01:25:45.720
We are lucky to find it because the bone
was in a terrible situation.

1212
01:25:50.240 --> 01:25:51.200
It's not here.

1213
01:25:54.000 --> 01:25:57.000
[soothing music playing]

1214
01:26:01.880 --> 01:26:03.280
This is another person.

1215
01:26:05.240 --> 01:26:06.200
They are not one.

1216
01:26:07.640 --> 01:26:09.480
Young, very young.

1217
01:26:10.240 --> 01:26:11.320
Small person.

1218
01:26:13.320 --> 01:26:14.880
No, this is the right temple.

1219
01:26:19.560 --> 01:26:21.240
I think we have three here.

1220
01:26:26.680 --> 01:26:28.720
And I think this is a mandible of…

1221
01:26:30.720 --> 01:26:31.960
an adult woman, I think.

1222
01:26:32.040 --> 01:26:35.040
This hole have two women and one child.

1223
01:26:40.320 --> 01:26:44.720
Old woman, younger woman,
and a child, I think so.

1224
01:26:57.680 --> 01:26:59.800
[people chattering indistinctly in Arabic]

1225
01:27:03.920 --> 01:27:04.880
[sighs]

1226
01:27:09.120 --> 01:27:10.920
[Mohammad]
So, in shaft number three?

1227
01:27:11.440 --> 01:27:12.560
-Two women.
-Two women.

1228
01:27:14.480 --> 01:27:15.760
[Mohammad] About how old?

1229
01:27:16.280 --> 01:27:17.480
[Amira] One is over 50.

1230
01:27:18.800 --> 01:27:20.080
Probably his mother then.

1231
01:27:21.760 --> 01:27:23.120
[Amira] And the other one,

1232
01:27:23.200 --> 01:27:26.680
you can say she was in her thirties
from the wear on the teeth.

1233
01:27:26.760 --> 01:27:28.080
It might be the wife.

1234
01:27:28.600 --> 01:27:31.240
-[man speaking Arabic]
-[Mohammad] All right, Doctor.

1235
01:27:31.320 --> 01:27:32.960
Anything else with them?

1236
01:27:33.040 --> 01:27:34.960
[Amira] Yes, a child's bones.

1237
01:27:35.040 --> 01:27:37.040
The age isn't very clear.

1238
01:27:37.120 --> 01:27:40.240
-Bones of child, age unknown.
-[Amira speaking Arabic]

1239
01:27:40.320 --> 01:27:42.480
[Mohammad] Really, a fourth child?

1240
01:27:42.560 --> 01:27:43.480
[Amira] Maybe so.

1241
01:27:44.640 --> 01:27:46.480
Ahmed, we have four children.

1242
01:27:46.560 --> 01:27:49.160
-Are there four on the walls?
-Yes, there are four.

1243
01:27:51.120 --> 01:27:52.880
Three boys and a girl.

1244
01:27:58.400 --> 01:28:00.680
The three boys might have been
in that shaft,

1245
01:28:00.760 --> 01:28:02.720
and here, the two ladies with the girl.

1246
01:28:03.720 --> 01:28:05.800
[Ahmed] They buried the females together?

1247
01:28:05.880 --> 01:28:08.320
The girl with the mother and the wife.

1248
01:28:08.400 --> 01:28:09.920
[Amira] It's a good theory.

1249
01:28:14.800 --> 01:28:17.840
[Amira] This is his family
lying beside each other.

1250
01:28:20.080 --> 01:28:21.160
[speaking Arabic]

1251
01:28:21.240 --> 01:28:24.640
[Amira, in English] From their ages
and the situation of the bones,

1252
01:28:24.720 --> 01:28:26.960
we must have strong suspicions

1253
01:28:27.040 --> 01:28:31.120
that the deaths of all these people
were connected somehow.

1254
01:28:37.760 --> 01:28:38.680
[speaking Arabic]

1255
01:28:45.560 --> 01:28:48.280
[Ahmed, in English]
Wahtye's life, it was very complicated.

1256
01:28:48.840 --> 01:28:50.320
-[dog barking]
-[people chattering]

1257
01:28:50.400 --> 01:28:52.120
What happened for his family?

1258
01:28:52.200 --> 01:28:53.760
[speaking Arabic]

1259
01:28:53.840 --> 01:28:56.800
[in English] Died at the same time?
Or one by one?

1260
01:28:57.960 --> 01:29:00.560
[speaking Arabic]

1261
01:29:00.640 --> 01:29:03.320
[in English] Why they died
so early like this?

1262
01:29:05.400 --> 01:29:06.560
[dog barking]

1263
01:29:09.720 --> 01:29:11.280
I can't imagine myself.

1264
01:29:11.360 --> 01:29:12.200
[horn honks]

1265
01:29:12.920 --> 01:29:13.760
I'm so lucky.

1266
01:29:14.880 --> 01:29:17.320
I have three daughters and one son.

1267
01:29:19.640 --> 01:29:21.280
[speaking Arabic]

1268
01:29:22.920 --> 01:29:24.520
Rawda, the smallest one…

1269
01:29:24.600 --> 01:29:26.680
Four years. I love her so much.

1270
01:29:26.760 --> 01:29:29.640
[speaking Arabic]

1271
01:29:29.720 --> 01:29:32.800
[in English] I think
if I lost my son or daughters…

1272
01:29:35.040 --> 01:29:36.880
I put myself instead of him…

1273
01:29:38.160 --> 01:29:39.120
I can't believe.

1274
01:29:39.200 --> 01:29:40.160
[speaking Arabic]

1275
01:29:43.280 --> 01:29:44.480
[in English] It's very, very sad.

1276
01:29:45.480 --> 01:29:47.120
To lose the whole family?

1277
01:29:48.120 --> 01:29:49.000
It's terrible.

1278
01:29:51.200 --> 01:29:52.040
[horn honks]

1279
01:30:05.920 --> 01:30:08.480
[Ahmed, in English]
I think there's some tragedy

1280
01:30:08.560 --> 01:30:11.600
in the last part of life of Wahtye.

1281
01:30:13.840 --> 01:30:16.720
But how? We don't know at this time.

1282
01:30:17.880 --> 01:30:19.280
So we still have puzzle.

1283
01:30:20.480 --> 01:30:22.800
We need to find Wahtye to work this out.

1284
01:30:23.400 --> 01:30:26.320
And there's only one place left to look.

1285
01:30:33.840 --> 01:30:34.800
[speaking Arabic]

1286
01:30:38.720 --> 01:30:40.800
-Put your back into it!
-[Ghareeb] Yes, Doctor!

1287
01:30:40.880 --> 01:30:42.840
[Mohammad] Whatever shaft you go into,
you jinx it!

1288
01:30:42.920 --> 01:30:46.080
You should read some of the Qur'an
in the morning!

1289
01:30:47.120 --> 01:30:48.120
[Ghareeb] I did, Doctor!

1290
01:30:48.200 --> 01:30:51.600
[Mohammad] Ghareeb, I like you,
but you're jinxing the whole thing!

1291
01:30:51.680 --> 01:30:54.680
[Ghareeb] No, Doctor!
I don't know what to say.

1292
01:30:54.760 --> 01:30:59.120
-If you'd taken more care of your men…
-[Ghareeb] Take more care than this?

1293
01:30:59.200 --> 01:31:01.880
-[Ghareeb] Should I buy them chocolates?
-[man laughs]

1294
01:31:02.480 --> 01:31:04.680
[Mohammad] God will deal with you,
Mustafa.

1295
01:31:06.040 --> 01:31:07.240
[speaking Arabic]

1296
01:31:12.080 --> 01:31:13.320
[men speaking Arabic]

1297
01:31:17.560 --> 01:31:19.760
Look, Mr. Sabry, the limestone is great.

1298
01:31:20.400 --> 01:31:21.720
[speaking Arabic]

1299
01:31:22.280 --> 01:31:25.600
[Ahmed] This breakage is old.
Broken from long ago. See?

1300
01:31:26.320 --> 01:31:28.520
[Sabry] It's the upper part
of a beautiful stone statue.

1301
01:31:28.600 --> 01:31:32.160
-Yes, very beautiful.
-[Sabry] And the wig is wonderful.

1302
01:31:32.240 --> 01:31:33.840
[Ahmed] The details are amazing.

1303
01:31:35.520 --> 01:31:37.760
-Mr. Ahmed. What's this beauty?
-[Ahmed] Hey!

1304
01:31:37.840 --> 01:31:39.240
I sent for you immediately.

1305
01:31:39.320 --> 01:31:43.360
You know the reliefs
that we found a few days ago?

1306
01:31:43.440 --> 01:31:46.720
-The King Rameses II ones?
-Surely it's no coincidence?

1307
01:31:46.800 --> 01:31:49.560
[Mohammad] Yes.
They're from a chapel above, I think.

1308
01:31:51.960 --> 01:31:56.560
[in English] So we found, three days ago,
uh, very nice reliefs from the same…

1309
01:31:57.320 --> 01:32:00.480
from the Ramesside time,
with the cartouche of King Rameses II.

1310
01:32:00.560 --> 01:32:01.560
It was very clear.

1311
01:32:03.040 --> 01:32:07.520
And today, we have this one,
also the style of, uh, Ramesside.

1312
01:32:08.720 --> 01:32:12.120
That's many more than 3,300 years old.

1313
01:32:13.120 --> 01:32:16.760
Uh, the tomb of this man
must be close to here.

1314
01:32:16.840 --> 01:32:19.200
Maybe it's our part of, uh, the hill here,

1315
01:32:19.280 --> 01:32:21.400
near, um, the wall over there.

1316
01:32:23.000 --> 01:32:24.480
[in Arabic] It's broken.

1317
01:32:25.760 --> 01:32:28.760
-I wonder, Ahmed…
-[Ahmed] Hmm?

1318
01:32:28.840 --> 01:32:31.320
Remember those two pieces of statue
that we found?

1319
01:32:31.400 --> 01:32:34.440
-In the first season?
-Part in the first and part in second.

1320
01:32:35.560 --> 01:32:37.680
Do you think this might fit with them?

1321
01:32:39.040 --> 01:32:40.240
Yeah, boss, I hope so.

1322
01:32:48.880 --> 01:32:52.360
[speaking Arabic]

1323
01:33:02.560 --> 01:33:05.040

1324
01:33:09.200 --> 01:33:11.320
As-salamu alaykum.

1325
01:33:13.600 --> 01:33:17.200
[Mohammad] Look, Dr. Medhat.
Remember the statue from last season?

1326
01:33:19.160 --> 01:33:22.240
-[Medhat] That was in several pieces?
-In two pieces…

1327
01:33:22.320 --> 01:33:25.080
-We've put them together!
-[Mohammad] You have? Where is it?

1328
01:33:25.160 --> 01:33:26.520
[Medhat] Come, have a look.

1329
01:33:29.200 --> 01:33:30.560
God bless you!

1330
01:33:31.160 --> 01:33:32.920
Can we check that piece?

1331
01:33:33.480 --> 01:33:35.160
Bring it over, Mr. Ahmed.

1332
01:33:36.160 --> 01:33:42.480
This is the part we found last May
at the top of the site.

1333
01:33:42.560 --> 01:33:46.080
And this one, we found in October
at the base of a shaft at the bottom.

1334
01:33:47.600 --> 01:33:48.760
Give it to Dr. Ashraf.

1335
01:33:48.840 --> 01:33:51.520
Look, look. Move back, move back.

1336
01:33:51.600 --> 01:33:53.920
-[man speaks Arabic]
-Lower. Give me a second.

1337
01:33:55.080 --> 01:33:57.000
[Ashraf] No, go back up a bit.

1338
01:33:57.080 --> 01:33:59.320
-Hold it! No, hold it!
-Let go. Let go!

1339
01:33:59.400 --> 01:34:01.960
[Mohammad] It's standing alone…
Now support it!

1340
01:34:02.880 --> 01:34:05.960
-[Ashraf] Perfect! Perfect!
-[Mohammad laughing]

1341
01:34:06.040 --> 01:34:10.360
-All right. Perfect, perfect.
-As soon as I saw it, I knew it would fit.

1342
01:34:10.920 --> 01:34:11.760
[camera clicks]

1343
01:34:12.440 --> 01:34:14.200
[Ashraf] Beautiful. Very beautiful.

1344
01:34:14.680 --> 01:34:15.600
[camera clicks]

1345
01:34:18.560 --> 01:34:20.080
-[camera clicking]
-Perfect.

1346
01:34:20.160 --> 01:34:22.800
[Mohammad]
Thank God our brains are still working.

1347
01:34:22.880 --> 01:34:25.000
[speaking Arabic]

1348
01:34:27.080 --> 01:34:29.200
Nobody can imagine
that this statue…

1349
01:34:29.280 --> 01:34:31.360
-[speaking Arabic]
-[Ahmed] …three pieces,

1350
01:34:31.440 --> 01:34:33.120
became complete statue.

1351
01:34:34.720 --> 01:34:40.560
So we are sure that we have something
hidden below the sand.

1352
01:34:41.720 --> 01:34:44.600
We need to search for the tomb
of the owner of the statue.

1353
01:34:45.080 --> 01:34:46.320
[Mohammad laughs]

1354
01:34:47.360 --> 01:34:49.880
I'm sure we can find it,
inshallah, this season.

1355
01:35:03.240 --> 01:35:04.400
[wind blowing]

1356
01:35:14.600 --> 01:35:16.160
[tool digging]

1357
01:35:29.320 --> 01:35:30.360
[speaking Arabic]

1358
01:35:30.440 --> 01:35:31.400
[whistles softly]

1359
01:35:33.840 --> 01:35:36.960
-How's it going?
-All good, boss!

1360
01:35:37.360 --> 01:35:39.520
There's a gap here.

1361
01:35:40.280 --> 01:35:43.360
What do you have there?
Move the debris to the south. Gentle.

1362
01:35:44.320 --> 01:35:46.880
-Easy, easy!
-[Ahmed] Hold on, hold on.

1363
01:35:46.960 --> 01:35:48.200
[man speaking Arabic]

1364
01:35:48.280 --> 01:35:50.240
Mr. Hamada will come down now.

1365
01:35:52.000 --> 01:35:54.680
[Hamada] When we go down
to the bottom of a shaft…

1366
01:35:57.440 --> 01:36:01.440
particularly the shafts in Wahtye's tomb,
we know that the rock is weak.

1367
01:36:01.520 --> 01:36:03.560
[men speaking Arabic]

1368
01:36:06.960 --> 01:36:09.200
[Hamada] To me,
this is the door to paradise.

1369
01:36:12.080 --> 01:36:14.640
I want to see him.
I want to get closer to him.

1370
01:36:17.680 --> 01:36:18.520
[clicks tongue]

1371
01:36:18.600 --> 01:36:22.040
[Hamada] I see an opening
to the west in front of me.

1372
01:36:23.160 --> 01:36:26.600
The width of the opening
is equal to the width of the shaft.

1373
01:36:27.160 --> 01:36:29.320
-[Ahmed] About a meter?
-[Hamada] Yeah.

1374
01:36:29.800 --> 01:36:30.640
[sighs]

1375
01:36:37.760 --> 01:36:39.440
[Ahmed] The entrance has widened.

1376
01:36:40.160 --> 01:36:42.400
-[Hamada] Yes.
-[Ahmed] Easier to see now?

1377
01:36:42.480 --> 01:36:44.480
-[Hamada] Yes.
-[Ahmed] What can you see?

1378
01:36:47.600 --> 01:36:48.640
[Hamada] One second.

1379
01:36:54.200 --> 01:36:57.160
I'll make sure before I get too excited.

1380
01:36:57.240 --> 01:36:58.080
[Ahmed] Hmm.

1381
01:36:59.400 --> 01:37:01.320
-What?
-[Hamada] Just give me a second.

1382
01:37:04.200 --> 01:37:05.120
Oh…

1383
01:37:06.400 --> 01:37:07.680
Whoo!

1384
01:37:09.080 --> 01:37:10.200
It's Wahtye, manager!

1385
01:37:10.280 --> 01:37:11.760
Wahtye! We've found him!

1386
01:37:11.840 --> 01:37:14.360
Thank God!
What have you got down there? Tell me!

1387
01:37:14.440 --> 01:37:16.720
-A wooden coffin!
-Finally we found Wahtye!

1388
01:37:16.800 --> 01:37:18.400
[Hamada speaking Arabic]

1389
01:37:18.480 --> 01:37:20.960
-[Ahmed] Great, great!
-[Mohammad] Thank God!

1390
01:37:21.040 --> 01:37:24.080
Congratulations, boss!
A thousand congratulations, Hamada!

1391
01:37:25.400 --> 01:37:28.480
[sighs] This will be
the first time he sees light.

1392
01:37:34.200 --> 01:37:35.920
You're lucky, Mr. Hamada.

1393
01:37:36.000 --> 01:37:37.440
Very lucky!

1394
01:37:37.920 --> 01:37:41.160
You're the first person
to see the burial from the chamber.

1395
01:37:41.240 --> 01:37:43.320
[Mohammad]
You're the first to see Wahtye.

1396
01:37:45.040 --> 01:37:47.480
-[Hamada] Dr. Mohammad!
-[Mohammad] Yes, boss?

1397
01:37:47.960 --> 01:37:51.600
[Hamada] The skeleton of Wahtye
is in here.

1398
01:37:51.680 --> 01:37:52.600
[Mohammad] Great.

1399
01:37:52.680 --> 01:37:55.520
-[Hamada] I've found the skull.
-[Mohammad] Thank God.

1400
01:37:57.400 --> 01:37:58.280
[Hamada] Hmm.

1401
01:37:58.800 --> 01:38:00.480
[man speaking indistinctly]

1402
01:38:02.640 --> 01:38:03.640
-Mr. Hamada?
-[Hamada] Yes?

1403
01:38:03.720 --> 01:38:07.840
-[Ahmed] Are all the bones there?
-[Hamada] Yes, all of them.

1404
01:38:13.120 --> 01:38:14.320
[grunts]

1405
01:38:20.280 --> 01:38:21.640
[Hamada] Thank God.

1406
01:38:22.560 --> 01:38:25.800
It's so curious
that in all the extravagance of this tomb,

1407
01:38:25.880 --> 01:38:27.840
now that we've cleared the shafts,

1408
01:38:28.440 --> 01:38:32.960
-there are only two burial chambers.
-[Mohammad] Hmm.

1409
01:38:33.040 --> 01:38:34.560
[Sabry] This main shaft has…

1410
01:38:36.800 --> 01:38:39.240
a simple wooden coffin.

1411
01:38:39.320 --> 01:38:41.640
The story of this man
still holds more riddles.

1412
01:38:42.480 --> 01:38:44.200
[men speaking indistinctly]

1413
01:38:46.120 --> 01:38:50.760
I think any father who loses his children
is left with a scar inside them.

1414
01:38:54.480 --> 01:38:58.120
But we felt his statues portray

1415
01:38:58.200 --> 01:39:00.520
a sense of cheerfulness.

1416
01:39:01.800 --> 01:39:07.880
So maybe the tomb was already finished
before his children died.

1417
01:39:10.160 --> 01:39:13.080
Because the only place
I sensed true sadness

1418
01:39:13.840 --> 01:39:17.680
was in his burial chamber.

1419
01:39:22.200 --> 01:39:25.600
There were no signs of luxury
or indulgence.

1420
01:39:28.760 --> 01:39:30.440
The coffin was just regular wood,

1421
01:39:32.400 --> 01:39:36.000
and he wasn't even mummified that well.

1422
01:39:37.400 --> 01:39:40.160
Maybe the shock of his children's death
brought him to this.

1423
01:39:47.440 --> 01:39:48.760
[Mohammad speaking Arabic]

1424
01:39:48.840 --> 01:39:50.480
-Manager!
-[Mohammad] Yes, boss!

1425
01:39:51.200 --> 01:39:52.160
The face of Wahtye!

1426
01:39:52.240 --> 01:39:54.600
-[Mohammad] Yes?
-[Hamada] Right in front of me.

1427
01:40:00.360 --> 01:40:02.720
-Wahtye has finally made an appearance!
-[Mohammad] Wonderful!

1428
01:40:03.200 --> 01:40:04.840
[Hamada] In very good condition.

1429
01:40:05.640 --> 01:40:06.680
Thank God.

1430
01:40:22.520 --> 01:40:26.240
[Ahmed] We thought all would become
clear when we found the burial chamber,

1431
01:40:26.320 --> 01:40:28.040
but there is more to discover.

1432
01:40:34.800 --> 01:40:37.760
We still need to find out how he died,

1433
01:40:39.320 --> 01:40:41.240
but it's something very beautiful

1434
01:40:41.760 --> 01:40:43.960
which fills your heart with joy…

1435
01:40:47.600 --> 01:40:49.640
to reveal the face of Wahtye.

1436
01:40:51.560 --> 01:40:53.200
Breathe a sigh of relief

1437
01:40:55.040 --> 01:40:56.960
and say, we've reached Wahtye.

1438
01:40:58.640 --> 01:41:00.920
Here is the tomb and there's its owner.

1439
01:41:01.880 --> 01:41:02.880
[speaking Arabic]

1440
01:41:03.840 --> 01:41:05.520
Now the picture is complete.

1441
01:41:06.200 --> 01:41:07.400
Has he arrived safely?

1442
01:41:07.480 --> 01:41:09.080
-[Mohammad] He's arrived.
-Thank God!

1443
01:41:09.160 --> 01:41:10.720
[men speaking Arabic]

1444
01:41:10.800 --> 01:41:11.880
[wind blowing]

1445
01:41:27.400 --> 01:41:29.080
[in English] The skeleton is, um…

1446
01:41:29.960 --> 01:41:32.840
is, uh, kept better than the other one.

1447
01:41:35.560 --> 01:41:41.280
And though he's a man, but still having
some feminine features for his skull.

1448
01:41:42.320 --> 01:41:45.200
He seems to be a very delicate man.

1449
01:41:46.320 --> 01:41:48.720
He's about 35 years old.

1450
01:41:55.360 --> 01:41:57.000
I think this was Wahtye.

1451
01:42:01.120 --> 01:42:03.520
At last, I met him. [chuckles]

1452
01:42:06.280 --> 01:42:10.360
He doesn't have
that strong or rough muscle attachment,

1453
01:42:10.440 --> 01:42:14.560
which may indicate that he was a fine man
with a fine job.

1454
01:42:15.480 --> 01:42:17.320
Maybe because he's a master.

1455
01:42:18.520 --> 01:42:20.480
He was the master of all these things.

1456
01:42:25.040 --> 01:42:29.280
The skull of Wahtye
was showing, uh, thickening of the bone.

1457
01:42:29.840 --> 01:42:30.680
[grunts]

1458
01:42:31.480 --> 01:42:33.000
We can lay him here.

1459
01:42:33.080 --> 01:42:34.840
And these can give us an idea

1460
01:42:34.920 --> 01:42:38.640
that there was something happening
inside these bones.

1461
01:42:47.200 --> 01:42:49.720
It's very interesting to be close to them

1462
01:42:49.800 --> 01:42:53.080
and to feel them
as if I'm feeling his pains and…

1463
01:42:53.160 --> 01:42:55.720
[inhales sharply]
…and suffering. I'm trying to.

1464
01:42:56.280 --> 01:42:59.320
It's not that easy,
but I'm trying to feel that.

1465
01:42:59.400 --> 01:43:00.240
Okay.

1466
01:43:03.600 --> 01:43:08.040
The shape of his lower limb bones
are not that healthy

1467
01:43:08.120 --> 01:43:11.640
because the knee is torted to inside.

1468
01:43:12.640 --> 01:43:16.080
This should be like this,
and this should be like this.

1469
01:43:16.640 --> 01:43:17.480
[grunts softly]

1470
01:43:19.200 --> 01:43:24.120
I think that, uh, angle
should be externally rotated,

1471
01:43:24.200 --> 01:43:25.480
but in this man,

1472
01:43:25.560 --> 01:43:28.160
instead of… of… of being this,

1473
01:43:28.800 --> 01:43:30.480
no, he has it like this.

1474
01:43:31.160 --> 01:43:33.640
As if he was walking like this.

1475
01:43:35.560 --> 01:43:37.600
I think he was, uh… weakened.

1476
01:43:39.120 --> 01:43:41.440
These bones weren't, uh, healthy.

1477
01:43:43.880 --> 01:43:45.840
Maybe he suffered a lot of pains.

1478
01:43:48.160 --> 01:43:51.360
They were eager for blood…

1479
01:43:54.120 --> 01:43:56.280
and that's why the bones are distended.

1480
01:43:58.240 --> 01:43:59.680
Which can tell us…

1481
01:44:00.960 --> 01:44:04.400
that this person may have
some sort of anemia.

1482
01:44:06.280 --> 01:44:10.280
And the same swelling
was found in the mom.

1483
01:44:11.760 --> 01:44:14.160
We have congenital causes of anemia.

1484
01:44:14.760 --> 01:44:20.680
But, uh, this is, I think, a remote idea
because both died in different age.

1485
01:44:21.920 --> 01:44:23.840
So it's not that common.

1486
01:44:24.400 --> 01:44:27.800
But, uh, by putting
the whole situation of that,

1487
01:44:27.880 --> 01:44:31.640
we may think of some sort
of, um, a disease…

1488
01:44:32.680 --> 01:44:33.920
or epidemic.

1489
01:44:34.400 --> 01:44:36.840
Most probably malaria.

1490
01:44:38.000 --> 01:44:40.760
Which may affect this whole family.

1491
01:44:42.520 --> 01:44:46.600
And if that's true, that would change
ancient Egyptian history.

1492
01:44:52.520 --> 01:44:54.880
-[birds twittering]
-[Imam over PA]

1493
01:45:01.280 --> 01:45:02.680
[Imam] Thank Allah.

1494
01:45:05.240 --> 01:45:07.080
Thanks be to Allah alone…

1495
01:45:08.960 --> 01:45:11.600
[Imam] God's mercy is for the merciful.

1496
01:45:11.680 --> 01:45:15.000
Be merciful to those who walk the earth.

1497
01:45:15.680 --> 01:45:19.040
[Mohammad, in English]
It is one of the, uh, rare examples,

1498
01:45:19.120 --> 01:45:22.520
to find all the people
who are depicted in the walls in the tomb

1499
01:45:22.600 --> 01:45:24.920
are buried in the shafts in the tomb.

1500
01:45:25.960 --> 01:45:29.040
[Imam, in Arabic] And this worldly life
is but play and folly…

1501
01:45:30.960 --> 01:45:35.640
[Mohammad, in English]
We thank our God for this full story

1502
01:45:35.720 --> 01:45:37.440
about this family.

1503
01:45:37.520 --> 01:45:39.280
[all praying in Arabic]

1504
01:45:44.440 --> 01:45:46.320
[in English] Wahtye is pleased of us,

1505
01:45:46.960 --> 01:45:48.680
and we are pleased of Wahtye.

1506
01:45:49.680 --> 01:45:52.000
It is a communication. It's cooperation.

1507
01:45:53.600 --> 01:45:57.800
We made Wahtye famous after 4,500 years.

1508
01:45:57.880 --> 01:46:00.080
So, if Wahtye comes now,

1509
01:46:00.560 --> 01:46:03.720
he thanks us
because of what we did for him.

1510
01:46:03.800 --> 01:46:04.760
[wind blowing]

1511
01:46:06.360 --> 01:46:08.960
But we thank Wahtye,
because without Wahtye,

1512
01:46:10.320 --> 01:46:13.000
our work would very quickly be forgotten.

1513
01:46:30.440 --> 01:46:32.560
[Amira, in English] We got the wrong idea.

1514
01:46:34.200 --> 01:46:37.320
These are their dreams.
This is not the reality.

1515
01:46:40.120 --> 01:46:43.480
We felt that they put their photos
on the walls.

1516
01:46:44.080 --> 01:46:45.720
No, they don't have that belief.

1517
01:46:47.800 --> 01:46:48.880
They are not like us.

1518
01:46:48.960 --> 01:46:53.000
We just take our photos on Facebook?
Like no, this is not their Facebook.

1519
01:46:54.200 --> 01:46:55.440
This is their dreams.

1520
01:46:56.320 --> 01:46:59.000
Because they believe in the other life
much, much more

1521
01:46:59.080 --> 01:47:01.200
than they believe in their first life.

1522
01:47:01.280 --> 01:47:04.600
And that's why they made the dreams
of the other life on the walls,

1523
01:47:05.080 --> 01:47:06.760
and this is their first life.

1524
01:47:08.280 --> 01:47:11.360
That's why you get
a lot of mistakes about history.

1525
01:47:11.840 --> 01:47:14.880
Seeing the great temples,
the great statues,

1526
01:47:15.720 --> 01:47:18.080
and you think
everything in history was perfect.

1527
01:47:21.360 --> 01:47:24.520
And then, when you see the people,
you discover they're like us.

1528
01:47:25.840 --> 01:47:27.120
Exactly like us.

1529
01:47:28.720 --> 01:47:30.040
This is the real story.

1530
01:47:50.760 --> 01:47:52.720
[men speaking excitedly in Arabic]

1531
01:48:01.480 --> 01:48:04.040
[Ahmed, in English]
After we finished Wahtye's tomb,

1532
01:48:05.000 --> 01:48:09.640
all the team was very, very optimistic
that we can find something

1533
01:48:09.720 --> 01:48:11.920
and we come back again next season.

1534
01:48:14.160 --> 01:48:16.160
But the head of the mission
came to visit us…

1535
01:48:16.240 --> 01:48:17.640
[speaking Arabic]

1536
01:48:17.720 --> 01:48:19.840
[Ahmed]
…and he gave us very bad news.

1537
01:48:20.320 --> 01:48:21.400
[man speaking Arabic]

1538
01:48:24.680 --> 01:48:28.040
[in English] We must finish this season
after just two days.

1539
01:48:28.880 --> 01:48:30.600
[speaking Arabic]

1540
01:48:30.680 --> 01:48:32.560
[Ahmed]
The government's budget finished.

1541
01:48:34.880 --> 01:48:36.400
We need to complete our work.

1542
01:48:36.480 --> 01:48:37.760
[speaking Arabic]

1543
01:48:40.920 --> 01:48:42.000
[Ahmed] Remove everything…

1544
01:48:42.080 --> 01:48:43.680
[men speaking Arabic]

1545
01:48:44.560 --> 01:48:46.920
[Ahmed] …because we must leave
after two days.

1546
01:48:47.480 --> 01:48:48.880
[men speaking Arabic]

1547
01:48:57.680 --> 01:49:00.440
[in English] Usually,
in the last week of the work,

1548
01:49:00.520 --> 01:49:03.560
you try to secure the site and save it.

1549
01:49:03.640 --> 01:49:05.080
[men speaking Arabic]

1550
01:49:06.000 --> 01:49:07.800
[men, in Arabic] Ghareeb, help him.

1551
01:49:08.320 --> 01:49:10.560
[men speaking Arabic]

1552
01:49:14.240 --> 01:49:15.960
Sometimes, you have a surprise.

1553
01:49:16.680 --> 01:49:18.440
The cliff face looks good.

1554
01:49:18.520 --> 01:49:22.000
[in English] Because,
when you clean some place…

1555
01:49:22.080 --> 01:49:23.840
[in Arabic] Get a mattock quick!

1556
01:49:23.920 --> 01:49:26.920
[Mohammad] …sometimes
you discover something important.

1557
01:49:27.560 --> 01:49:28.920
[excited chatter]

1558
01:49:34.720 --> 01:49:38.960
[in Arabic] Where are the empty buckets?
Come on! Grab that one by your feet!

1559
01:49:43.080 --> 01:49:44.680
[excited chatter]

1560
01:49:46.040 --> 01:49:47.840
Come around this way, Doctor.

1561
01:49:47.920 --> 01:49:49.280
[overlapping chatter]

1562
01:49:54.480 --> 01:49:55.760
[man speaking Arabic]

1563
01:49:57.760 --> 01:49:59.440
[excited chatter]

1564
01:50:02.320 --> 01:50:04.160
[excited chatter continues]

1565
01:50:06.600 --> 01:50:08.200
[cheering]

1566
01:50:11.000 --> 01:50:12.200
[Mohammad] "To-Bi-Mis…"

1567
01:50:12.280 --> 01:50:13.160
[applauding]

1568
01:50:13.240 --> 01:50:15.600
"To-Bi… Ben To-Bi-Mis."

1569
01:50:15.680 --> 01:50:16.640
[speaking Arabic]

1570
01:50:17.440 --> 01:50:19.880
"Ben… Ben To-Bi-Mis."

1571
01:50:20.600 --> 01:50:24.680
Look, "Judge," "The Great Judge."

1572
01:50:25.280 --> 01:50:27.280
[men speaking excitedly]

1573
01:50:28.200 --> 01:50:30.600
[gentle music soaring]

1574
01:50:31.160 --> 01:50:32.680
[Mohammad speaking Arabic]

1575
01:50:32.760 --> 01:50:34.720

[Mohammad speaking Arabic]

1577
01:50:43.880 --> 01:50:45.360
[cheering]

1578
01:50:45.440 --> 01:50:48.280
[Hamada] The Bubasteion necropolis,
I must say…

1579
01:50:48.760 --> 01:50:50.640
[men speaking excitedly]

1580
01:50:51.720 --> 01:50:53.440
[Hamada] …is a very strange place.

1581
01:50:53.520 --> 01:50:54.960
[excited chatter continues]

1582
01:51:00.800 --> 01:51:04.160
[Hamada] It always gives us
what we aren't expecting…

1583
01:51:04.240 --> 01:51:06.080
[excited chatter continues]

1584
01:51:07.640 --> 01:51:09.480
[men chanting]

1585
01:51:20.160 --> 01:51:22.160
[Hamada] …and that's a wonderful thing.

1586
01:51:29.000 --> 01:51:32.200
[upbeat music playing]
