S23·E9 The Black Pharaohs
Synopsis
Could a set of hieroglyphs be about to change the face of Ancient Egypt for ever?

As the British Museum prepares an international exhibition of additional finds that seem to corroborate his assertion, this programme accompanies Doctor Davies on his final digs to unearth more clues to the lives of these long-forgotten rulers. 4/6.
