Egypt Week Live

For 5 straight nights, the Discovery Channel broadcast live in prime-time from the Bahariya Oasis in Egypt, where the famed Golden Mummies were discovered. Hosts Laura Greene and Mike Rowe, along with Egypt’s leading archeology expert and Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Dr. Zawi Hawass, led viewers through a riveting hands-on exploration under Egypt’s desert, unearthing mummies and sarcophogi buried over 2500 years ago. Produced, directed, and written by BARD (in partnership with Fulcrum from the UK), the production used rigging and cameras designed by both British and American crews to meet the challenges of this unique setting, creating an unprecedented week-long live view of the excavations.
