A spectacular discovery in 1999 unearthed one hundred and five sumptuously decorated mummies at the Bahariya Oasis in Western Egypt. Dr. Zahi Hawass and team of Egyptian archaeologists excavated four beautifully gilded tombs, which contained an astonishing collection of Roman mummies. These exciting finds are re-writing the history of Egypt, centuries after Alexander the Great was Pharaoh, Romans and Egyptians were still embroiled in a battle for power. This year Discovery Channel follows Dr. Hawass as he returns to unveil the tombs he believes have been untouched since antiquity. Were corrupt Roman entrepreneurs hijacking the religious practice of Egyptian mummification? Now it is time to enter the greatest tomb of the Bahariya Oasis and uncover the secrets of the Golden Mummies.
