TX Time: 20h15
Genre: History, Documentary Series
This series follows Bradley Walsh on his first journey to Egypt as he seeks answers to some of ancient history's greatest mysteries.
Who built the pyramids, why, and how? Could the Ancient Egyptians have possessed supernatural abilities? And is the Great Sphinx far older than we've been led to believe?
This three-part series captures Bradley's passion, wit and curiosity through an unfiltered, authentic lens.
Join him as he explores, investigates and interacts with some of Egypt's most iconic ancient sites.
Bradley's unconventional ideas about these sites often challenge mainstream beliefs, with expert guides on hand in each episode to present established theories and offer a counterbalance to his perspective.
The series combines raw observational documentary with stylised notebook-inspired graphics and cinematic visuals to provide a fresh take on Egypt's legendary monuments.
Bradley's sharp intellect and unique perspective delivers an engaging glimpse into Ancient Egypt like never before.
Episode 1: Written in the Stars
Bradley begins his journey into Ancient Egypt, driven by a lifelong fascination with its most iconic structures, the pyramids.
As a former Rolls Royce engineer, Bradley questions mainstream theories about their construction, finding the numbers puzzling.
Armed with measuring tools, his notebook and alternative hypothesis, he examines the Great Pyramid's exterior and earlier structures like the Step Pyramid, Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid to uncover how they were built and by whom.
Then, fulfilling a dream, he ventures inside the Great Pyramid at night to confront a hotly debated question: was it truly a Pharaoh's tomb built 4,500 years ago, or could it be even older with a purpose linked to extraterrestrial power generation?
Episode 2: Riddle of the Sphinx
Bradley dives deeper into Egypt's mysteries, exploring the Great Sphinx and the underground Serapeum with its precision-cut granite sarcophagi, questioning their purpose and links to the pyramid enigma.
Traveling south, he visits the intricately designed Dendera Temple, where hieroglyphs and imagery hint at possible extraterrestrial connections.
He concludes at the sprawling Karnak temple complex, marvelling at its monumental engineering, sphinx-lined avenues and Hatshepsut's towering obelisk - wondering whether it's simply a monument or a channel for cosmic energy.
Episode 3: Search for the Boy King
Bradley sets out to uncover the mysteries of King Tutankhamun.
Along the way, he encounters the enigmatic "Alien King" Akhenaten and his wife, Nefertiti.
Sailing down the Nile, he investigates how the Ancient Egyptians transported enormous stone blocks for their architectural marvels, including the 700-ton Colossi of Memnon.
His quest then leads him into the Valley of the Kings, where he discovers the resting places of Akhenaten and King Tut's successor, Horemheb - before finally coming face-to-face with the mummy of the Boy King himself.

It even has a hydrophone to capture their calls.
In a magical close encounter, Spy Whale is greeted by an inquisitive female who, in astonishing scenes, attempts to communicate.
In a touching sign of acceptance, she even introduces her calf to Spy Whale.
Getting to know the greatest mind in the invertebrate world requires a very different spy, one that's a dead ringer for the coconut octopus it's designed to meet.
The octopus not only has a central brain; it also has a brain in each of its arms.
Using its combined brainpower, it works out how best to steal a coconut shell carried by our spy.
Its plan is to use the shell as a door to its hideaway to protect itself from predatory sharks.
In another act of ingenuity, it improvises a shield and throws missiles at a rival octopus.
It also shows a softer and more emotional side when it gives Spy Coconut Octopus a friendly and lingering embrace.

Marlin use teamwork to drive mackerel shoals to the surface only for them to be stolen by quick-thinking sea lions.
When Spy Sea Lion takes us on a rollercoaster ride inside the shoal, its camera eyes show how the shoal's swarm intelligence is pitched against that of the clever sea lions.
It also discovers some extraordinary new behaviour as the sea lion gift some of their catch to the marlin.
On a Caribbean beach, another spy meets the crab world's most entertaining characters – hermit crabs.
They may be comical in nature, but they also have highly developed organisational skills.
When they've outgrown their shells, they line up in order of size to exchange them for a better fit.
All is going well until Spy Hermit Crab loses its shell to a crab looking to upsize its accommodation.
The crab becomes the unwitting camera operator as it captures a crab's-eye view of the organised chaos.
On another Caribbean island, a colony of wild pigs embrace beach life by taking a daily dip in the sea.
Spy Pig joins their daily ritual as they forage for food brought in by visiting boats.
As their ingenuity draws the crowds, Spy Pig gets caught up in the resulting feeding frenzy.
Back on the reefs, Spy Coconut Octopus donates its shell to a family of enterprising clownfish.
In an astonishing show of teamwork, the fish work together to move the shell back to their anemone home, creating a safe place to lay their eggs among the poisonous tentacles.
