Netflix brings this new documentary about the exploration in the ancient sites of Egypt directed by Max Salomon.
With a run-time of 83 minutes, this series follows Dr. Zahi Hawass (whom might have remembered from the Tutankhamun story from textbooks) who considers Saqqara the most significant site in Egypt.
