The Great Pyramid - The Great Pyramid at Giza is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the World that still stands. Though archaeologists have been poring over this site for more than 200 years, we still do not really know how the ancient Egyptians built the Great Pyramid. Now two new developments promise to change that. Archaeologist Mark Lehner, the world’s leading authority on the pyramids, takes this new information and forms a radical new picture of how Giza looked two and a half thousand years ago. He will reveal that the pyramid site, though more than a hundred miles from the nearest ocean, became, thanks to the Nile, the major international port of its day. He will also reveal the extraordinary footprint of the building: construction impacted far beyond Egypt’s borders. (From the UK) (Documentary) (Archaeology) G CC
