Part 1: The Mystery of the First Egyptians
Since its beginning around five thousand years ago, the Ancient Egyptian culture has captured the imagination of the world. But despite the permanent reminders left by this enduring civilisation, mystery still surrounds the identity of its creators. The Egypt Detectives head out into the desert valley to uncover who the First Egyptians really were.

Intrigue and mystery have always surrounded the pyramids. Mysteries abound about how and why they were built, but questions still remain unanswered about where they were constructed. With Miriam investigating the geology of the Nile Valley and Dominic the Egyptian religion and myth, the Egypt Detectives try and piece together some logic behind the geography of the royal tombs.

Egypt is full of mysteries. One of them is the pharaoh's moving statue which travelled thousands of kilometres without cranes , trucks or even a wheel. How was it done? Time to bring in the Egypt Detectives
Part 4: The mystery of the Rebel Pharaoh
Akhenaten is ancient Egypt's most mysterious and puzzling pharaoh - for no apparent reason he destroyed the established religion of Egypt and moved 50,000 people to a lonely bay on the edge of the Nile, where he built a magnificent city from scratch. Why Akhenaten unleashed this astounding revolution has never been fully explained. Now the Egypt Detectives set about uncovering the real portrait of the rebel pharaoh.
Part 5: The Mystery of Tutankhamun's Treasure
Archaeologists have made an astonishing claim that could change our understanding of the life of Tutankhamun forever. Many of the burial goods found in Tutankhamun's tomb may not have been his at all. Working with Tutankhamun expert Nicholas Reeves, the Egypt Detectives try to determine the daunting problem faced by his successors and how it was solved.
Part 6: The Mystery of the Animal Mummies
For more than 3000 years, the Ancient Egyptians mummified their dead using elaborate embalming methods, and buried them in style. But they didn't just mummify people. Follow the Egypt Detectives as they seek to uncover why the Egyptians mummified animals, and why so many.
