The construction of Egyptian pyramids remains a fascinating mystery. But today, archaeologists have developed a new tool, Archaeology 2.0. Thanks to CGI and satellite-imagery, this monumental series puts science to the service of history to uncover the secrets behind the construction of the ancient pyramids.

00:00 Khufu And The Tomb of Secrets
Of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Pyramid of Khufu is the only one still standing. 146 metres high, 230 metres wide, and made from almost 2.5 million blocks, Khufu breaks all known records. Representing the perfection of building pyramids, this iconic monument has captivated the world for over 4,500 years. However, the methods of its construction remain unexplained. In this episode, find out how archaeologists are using new technology to uncover Khufu's secrets.

45:59 Saqqara - The First Pyramid
A vast pyramid with an unusual form dominates the Nile Valley. At the heart of Saqqara, the largest necropolis in Egypt built around 2600 BC, lies the Step Pyramid of Djoser. The first and the most complex, it marks the start of the era of pyramids. For almost two centuries, scientists have been using new technologies to piece together its subterranean labyrinths and understand the mystery behind its construction.

1:32:46 - Meidum And The Mystery Of The False Pyramid
Standing tall and proud, almost resembling a castle Keep, is Meidum, Egypt's least known and most mysterious pyramid. Which Pharoah ordered the construction of this impressive monument? Was it truly a pyramid, or was it used for something else? To answer these questions, archaeologists are using new technology to delve into the heart of this building to unravel the stages of its construction and its true intended purpose.

2:19:53 Dahshur - An Incredible Discovery
In Dahsur, 40km south of Cairo, two pyramids are believed to be the most beautiful. Built by King Sneferu, these two groundbreaking monuments are allegedly the first two pyramids, now therefore seen as vital elements for understanding the evolution of pyramid building. To the south lies the unusually shaped rhomboidal Bent Pyramid. To the north, the Red Pyramid, perhaps the very first triangle-shaped pyramid.

3:07:34 The Last Secrets Of Giza
Right next to the iconic Pyramid of Khufu on the Giza plateau, other architectural works of art have withstood the test of time; the sphinx and the pyramids of Pharoahs Kafra and Menkaure. How and why are the two biggest pyramids in the world aligned, and what secrets do they have yet to reveal?

3:55:28 Abu Rawash And The Lost Pyramid
2km west of Cairo lies one of Ancient Egypt's greatest mysteries. In Abu Rawash, from aerial view, archaeologists discovered fascinating evidence of a torn open pyramid. This is one of the best-kept secrets of the dynasties of Pharoahs which was long hidden in the sand, a pyramid that served as a tomb for Pharoah Djedefre.
