I'm very pleased to have my name attached to such a significant historic and cultural exploration and to collaborate with Discovery Channel on this notably unprecedented documentation."

The two-hour live event was aired on the American Discovery Channel, in addition to Travel Channel and Science Channel under the leadership of adventurer Josh Gates, winner of Best Host in CableFax Program Awards for Expedition Unknown, and American TV personality and commentator Chris Jacobs.

In this special, the long-standing show takes the viewers to the inner chambers of an excavation site, where archeologists have recently unearthed a network of vertical shafts leading to a number of tombs with 40 mummies believed to be part of the noble elite communities of ancient Egypt. The show also witnessed the discovery of a number of amazing monuments; most notably the unveiling of a 2500-year-old mummy that is believed to be of an ancient Egyptian noble, in addition to a mysterious statue of wax and other two mummies.
