It might be possible, according to our experts, that underneath the Pyramids and the Sphinx, could be the remains of an ancient city or a military base built by the gods whose visage can be seen upon the Sphinx. In this final episode of season 3, we explore the scattered hints of this lost piece of history, we ponder connections to Atlantis, beings from other worlds, and what secrets concerning our place in the universe may remain to be discovered. Some have ventured into this netherworld but were prevented from exploring deeper into this enigmatic labyrinth. What has been discovered suggests that these tunnels stretch seven levels deep, and span from India to Europe.

New archeological evidence sheds light on the stunning engineering of the Great Pyramid of Giza. (Aired February 6, 2019)

Official Website: https://to.pbs.org/49yvt3L | #novapbs

The 6 million-ton Great Pyramid of Giza is the last surviving wonder of the ancient world. How did the Egyptians engineer the mighty pharaoh Khufu’s tomb so precisely, with none of today’s surveying and power tools? And who were the thousands of laborers who raised the stones? Were they slaves or volunteers, and how were they housed, fed, and organized? "Decoding the Great Pyramid" presents the latest evidence from groundbreaking archaeological research that has transformed our understanding of the ancient world’s most ambitious engineering project, revealing a “lost city" and intimate details of the lives of the laborers and officials who toiled on the vast construction. Amazingly, French archaeologists recently found the logbook of a labor team that delivered limestone blocks to build the Great Pyramid, yielding crucial insights into the planning and logistics behind the operation. Beyond these construction secrets, "Decoding the Great Pyramid" traces how mobilizing the colossal labor and resources invested in the monument transformed ancient Egypt, uniting a nation behind the common goal of ensuring eternity for the pharaoh and continuing prosperity for everyone in this life and the next.

The Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu, is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact. Its sides climb at an angle of slightly less than 52 degrees, rising to a summit of 480 feet. But how did they manage to manoeuvre 2.5 tonne blocks to such an incredible height without the crane or the block and tackle system? It was a challenge to the ancient Egyptians and still remains a mystery to modern archaeologists.
