Dr Sarah Parcak uses cutting-edge satellite technology to identify thousands of ancient sites.
The Pyramids, the Sphinx and the tombs of the Pharaohs are all fabulous monuments to Egypt’s past. But according to Dr Sarah Parcak, the astonishing antiquities already discovered are just a tiny percentage of what was left behind by the ancient Egyptians.
From her Nasa-sponsored laboratory, Dr Sarah Parcak uses cutting-edge satellite technology to identify thousands of iconic sites that include lost tombs, temples and cities buried beneath the shifting sands.
As Sarah heads to Egypt to verify her findings, she will be joined by Liz Bonnin and Dallas Campbell for a remarkable voyage of discovery to solve some of the mysteries of ancient Egypt.
The techniques used in Egypt: What Lies Beneath reveal an ancient Egypt never before imagined, let alone seen. Using the latest visually-stunning CGI technology, the programme recreates landscapes and lost sites last seen thousands of years ago.
