Egypt is the fascinating drama documentary from the BBC delving into three of the most important and eye-opening discoveries from ancient Egypt.

These include Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, Belzoni's discovery of artefacts dating from the time of Ramesses II, and Champollion's deciphering of the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic system.

The drama-documentary explores the world of the ancient Egyptians, one that is so removed from today's society and life as we know it, including their art, culture, politics and society. This 3 disk box set takes us on the historians journeys  as they overcome unimaginable obstacles enabling them to reveal the secrets of an as-yet undiscovered world and present to us their seminal finds.

Features performances from Andrew Sachs, Matthew Kelly, Caroline Langrishe and Laurence Fox.
