New series1/3. Revealing some of the world's greatest lost cities and solving the mystery of why they disappeared by following scientific clues.
The Vanished Capital of the Pharaoh. Rediscovering the legendary city of Piramesse, a magnificent ancient capital built 3,000 years ago by the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses the Great, who lavished it with statues and obelisks, temples and palaces designed to awe all those who entered. What was once a teeming metropolis, a gateway to ancient Egypt, was lost for thousands of years and the quest to find it became one of archaeology's great prizes. But why when it was located, was it found to be in the wrong place, somewhere Ramesses could not possibly have built it? The series continues tomorrow at 9pm.
