The Nile: Ancient Egypt's Great RiverSeason 1 Episode 1 - The Nile: 5000 Years Of History Series 1 Ep 1

Bettany visits Egypt’s gateway to the world - the Nile’s mouth - before boarding her fabulous ‘dahabiya’ and meeting the crew that will guide her upstream, the length of Egypt. A visit to the Cairo Museum and its amazing collection of Egyptian mummies plays right to the heart of why this ancient civilisation is so fascinating, as Bettany gets a rare chance to meet Tuya, the 3,300yr old great-grandmother of Tutankhamen.
