00:00Right now on Chasing Mommies.
00:02This is the most dangerous place in the pyramid
00:04because the stones are falling apart.
00:09Hey! I don't want to be alone down here!
00:12It's dangerous for her to be stuck inside the pyramid.
00:15People could die.
00:16I've got a girl trapped in the pyramid.
00:18If they're stuck inside the pyramid, they could be dead.
00:21Go in this direction and just look for her.
00:23What an exciting moment,
00:25and people are talking outside with nonsense!
00:27Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
00:29I've had a girl. I've had a girl who made this mistake.
00:32I will punish you.
00:33You will never work for me again.
00:34We have to make the discovery.
00:36Excavate everything tonight.
00:38What are you expecting is under there?
00:39We'll see.
00:40This is crazy.
00:42We can see the mummy.
00:45It's our past.
00:46It's not our Egyptian past.
00:48It's the past of everyone.
00:49This is history.
00:51Meet Dr. Zahi Hawass,
00:53Egyptologist and legend.
00:55Zahi's friends call him the pharaoh.
00:57And you're about to see why.
00:59He rules his world like a king
01:01and holds all the keys
01:03to Egypt's antiquities.
01:06Zahi Hawass is the first undertaker in Egypt.
01:09I'm Leslie Greif,
01:11and I make documentaries.
01:13Recently,
01:13Zahi gave us the chance of a lifetime
01:15to make a series
01:17following him
01:17on his amazing adventures.
01:19But there was a catch.
01:21Everyone on this journey,
01:22my crew,
01:23his workers,
01:24the archaeological fellows,
01:26even me,
01:27would become part of the story.
01:29It sounded crazy,
01:31but you never say no
01:32to a pharaoh.
01:42Zahi's life goes 24-7.
01:45We're there around the clock, too.
01:50Tonight,
01:51Zahi's the star
01:52at his latest book signing.
01:58I'd like to officially welcome
02:00Dr. Zahi Hawass.
02:13Dr. Hawass?
02:14Yes, Alan.
02:15It's Leslie.
02:16Hello?
02:17We got Zoe in the camera.
02:18Stuck.
02:19In the pyramid.
02:20I don't know what happened.
02:23How did this happen?
02:25With respect,
02:25don't yell at me.
02:26Your guys locked them in.
02:28Can we get an ambulance out there?
02:30No.
02:31All right.
02:31You get a doctor.
02:33You guys go back.
02:34Wrap up here.
02:34I'm not going to wait.
02:35See, go get me.
02:36Make sure everything's set.
02:38I will come right now.
02:39No, it's going to take me an hour
02:40to get there.
02:41I got there.
02:42I'll ask you.
02:43Let's go.
02:44Yeah, I'll meet you out there now.
02:46Excuse me.
02:48Are you sure?
02:49Going to my car?
02:51Excuse me.
02:51It's an emergency.
02:52It's an emergency.
02:54Guys, I got an emergency.
02:55Excuse me.
02:56Excuse me, guys.
02:57Excuse me.
02:57Please.
03:02Let me.
03:04Let me.
03:06Well, bring water.
03:07It's in the middle of nowhere.
03:11You should not let this happen at all.
03:14Your mistake.
03:16Drive fast.
03:19How do we lose a camera guy
03:21and find out about it five hours later?
03:23Hakim.
03:25Yes, I'm coming.
03:26I'm in my way now.
03:28I mean, I thought we had a system.
03:30Everybody should know everybody.
03:31We should be checking in.
03:32I've got a wrap.
03:33You go.
03:33You say, I got my guy.
03:34I got myself.
03:36It's dangerous for her to be inside the penance.
03:39People could die.
03:40Pull up.
03:41There he is.
03:43Okay.
03:45Dr. Akif.
03:47Alan, I have to tell you that actually it's your fault.
03:51It's your mistake.
03:53You should really protect the lady.
03:55It is not the crew mistake.
03:57We have the gun.
03:59You have the keys?
04:00Yeah, I have the keys.
04:01Let's go.
04:01You cannot.
04:02You cannot go.
04:03Maybe we can't go.
04:04We have to wait for the power.
04:06We have to wait.
04:07We ain't waiting.
04:07My guy's down there.
04:08You want someone to die?
04:15Day one of the shoot.
04:17Zahi takes us about an hour outside of Cairo, where he's working to restore the world's
04:21oldest pyramid.
04:25You know, this is the oldest pyramid ever built in the world, built of a stone.
04:30And you have to think about this architect, Imhotep, the genius man, who changed architecture
04:36in the first time in the world from mud brick to stones.
04:41Hey, Johnny, Bebo, I want to do a quick huddle-up, bring everybody down.
04:46We're about to do something that no one's done before.
04:49We're going to be dealing with a guy who is a legend, Dr. Hawass.
04:52We're going to be living with this guy 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for the next
04:57six months.
04:58We got our camera crews.
04:59We got Robbie out there, Halaska out there.
05:00We got Ash running around.
05:01Yep.
05:02Okay.
05:02So we've got our zones.
05:04A little bit later today, John, Dr. Hawass has that book signing tonight.
05:09So he'll go shoot that.
05:10I'm going to take Don, I think, Cab, and run out to Hanukkah Neely.
05:14That'd be perfect.
05:14You guys will cover that.
05:16Our meeting's not even done, and we're facing our first challenge.
05:20Following Zahi on a safety check of the cramped, maze-like tunnels underneath the step pyramid,
05:25he's taking along Dr. Alan Morton, who leads Zahi's archaeological fellowship program.
05:34I never permitted anyone to enter this pyramid.
05:38This is the most dangerous place in the pyramid, because the stones are falling apart everywhere.
05:45I was afraid that people could die, actually, from the tunnels and the corridors that really
05:51can kill people, because these corridors are like three miles and a half long.
06:00Three miles.
06:01Three miles.
06:34All right.
06:35Adam, he's fairly tight.
06:38Okay.
06:39I got him.
06:52You are.
06:55Oh, God.
06:57I'm coming back.
07:02I can't even turn around it's so tight in here can you believe still under the
07:11step pyramid we can discover things this is a late period mask showing the
07:20goodness neftes that's fantastic this is incredible to discover still things
07:27under the step pyramid many be you know many people will not believe us this is
07:33really we never expected to discover anything during the conservation of the
07:38step pyramid but when we clean more and we took sense more we can discover things
07:45I can't quite see it it's look at this hand oh it's incredible it's a little wooden yeah it's
07:56also in a late period all of this stuff are buried here in the late period which is incredible would
08:03that have been part of a larger effigy yeah we don't know we will clean this area more and maybe
08:08we'll
08:09discover something here let's go on it so anyway here's the point guys you tell them a little bit
08:21about Dr. Havas no not these guys they're my guys oh okay okay sorry about that okay you know you
08:28don't know Dr. Havas he loses his temper he get nervous he can't have anything stupid around him

20:57Just sit down and get some air.
20:59All right, guys.
21:00Go with that girl.
21:01Yeah, she's okay.
21:05Oh man, so you all right?
21:07I'm all right.
21:09I can't believe you did that.
21:11You actually pulled these guys out of the friggin' pyramid.
21:13Yeah, I did.
21:13Yeah.
21:16It's dangerous in the pyramid.
21:18I know.
21:18How would Alan not check the labor procedures locked him in, man?
21:22He doesn't know it.
21:23Well...
21:23You have to understand that those people are not trained.
21:26I told them, we are not permitting anyone to enter inside this pyramid.
21:32But you have to know one thing.
21:34You are making this show, things can happen.
21:36You are following me in archaeology.
21:38There is tunnels, there is shafts.
21:40I gotta tell you, thank God, man.
21:42I don't want this crew getting hurt.
21:45Are you still going to the dig in Baja Rio tomorrow?
21:48Of course.
21:55After an exhausting first day with only a few hours of sleep,
21:58Zayn now has us off and running early the next morning.
22:03Alan?
22:06Okay.
22:07Hey, Dave!
22:09Dave, go.
22:10Excuse me.
22:10You got a sec?
22:11Hurry up, guys.
22:12The wash just came out.
22:13We gotta get loaded up.
22:14So what's happening?
22:15He's mad.
22:16He's upset.
22:16I couldn't get the scoop.
22:18I mean, she's kind of on like a little probationary thing.
22:21She's gonna go.
22:22So he's keeping her after all this crazy?
22:30We're following Zayn through the desert of the Sahara,
22:33to a small oasis hundreds of miles outside of Cairo.
22:42Maria, a village built above what could be 10,000 mummies.
22:48Zowie!
22:49What is happening?
22:51That's excellent.
22:52Zowie, you always cause a problem.
22:55I will fire you.
23:23You know what it's talking about?
23:26Mahmoud is telling me that we're going to remove this house with a bulldozer.
23:31Because, you know, this area is completely, all the houses were built above tombs.
23:37And for the last five, six years, we found many tombs beautifully decorated hidden under the ground.
23:45So does anybody live in the houses?
23:47They used to live in the house, but we gave them a piece of land,
23:51and we built a house for them.
23:53Then we can demolish this house and excavate on the roof.
24:02Derek, Alan, you go with the Egyptian archaeologist
24:05and try to look at the bones and other things.
24:08Lindsay, come with me.
24:10Come on, Mahmoud.
24:11Tell the bulldozer.
24:11Come on, Mahmoud.
24:13Come on, Mahmoud.
24:16Come on, Mahmoud.
24:17Come on, Mahmoud.
24:18Come on, Mahmoud.
24:19Come on, Mahmoud.
24:23Would you like the two of you to stand up here?
24:26Then I can get rid of you?
24:27Sorry.
24:28Then we can demolish you in the house.
24:35Whoa!
24:35Whoa!
24:50I don't like this.
24:52Why?
24:53It's like moving a family out and tearing down their heads.
24:58But they built on top of an entire complex of tools.
25:03We've got to sort these bones out if we did an MNI.
25:07Do you remember what that means?
25:08Oh, the minimum number of individuals.
25:13Yeah.
25:14Good.
25:14Let's do that.
25:15So let's make a list of the bones as you're taking them out.
25:18Okay?
25:18And what we need to do is find out what's the number of individuals represented by each of these things.
25:25Let's put one down on the ground for now.
25:27We'll just sort of pick through it.
25:28How can it be under a house?
25:30That's what people built in their houses above the tombs.
25:33Ooh.
25:34Look.
25:35Look here.
25:36Look why it's dangerous.
25:37Oh, my God.
25:38Look, Lindsay.
25:39Look.
25:40Very dangerous.
25:41That's why it's so difficult to remove the houses.
25:45You could fall down and we'll bury you inside here.
25:59Oh, my God.
26:01Get that bulldozer out of the hole.
26:04Oh, my God.
26:26Don't let the bulldozer damage the antiquities.
26:30So he was right.
26:31Yeah.
26:32There really is something here.
26:34First question you have to ask yourself, what kind of bone is it?
26:37So do you know what that is?
26:38It's massive.
26:39That one's part of the femur.
26:40That's right.
26:41Which part?
26:43You know where your femur is.
26:44It attaches to the knee.
26:45Exactly.
26:46Okay.
26:46Now the next question, is it a left or a right?
26:49The most massive side of the femur tells you if it's left or right.
26:54So this is the...
26:54This is the bigger side?
26:56It's the bigger side.
26:56That's right.
26:57So that'll go to the outside.
26:58So it's a left.
27:00It's a left femur.
27:05I just can't believe that was actually under the house.
27:08I know.
27:09They were living on top of that with like half a foot of rubble.
27:19The bulldozer cannot come here.
27:21Why not?
27:22Look, holes are everywhere.
27:24This is exactly what we hope to discover today.
27:29This is interesting.
27:31We don't know.
27:32We don't have the ends.
27:33We don't have the distal or proximal end.
27:34But do you know how you can tell which is proximal and which is a distal end?
27:37Every bone, long bone like this, has something called a nutrient foramen where blood vessels
27:42go in and nerves and so on go into the marrow inside the bone.
27:46And if you look there, that's a nutrient foramen.
27:49And imagine it like a little comet on its way through space.
27:54And you do this little rhyme.
27:56From the knee I flee, to the elbow I go.
28:00So I can see that the comet's going that way.
28:02It's fleeing from the knee.
28:03So we can tell that this is the proximal end of the tibia.
28:06Just from that silly little rhyme.
28:12Look out, Dr. Hawass.
28:13Ah, that's good.
28:17We can help.
28:18No, I don't want your help.
28:19You will be injured.
28:20This is dangerous.
28:25Look.
28:26God.
28:29Hey.
28:31Oh, no, no, no, no.
28:33Oh.
28:35Good.
28:36Oh.
28:37My god, thank you.
28:42Thank you very much.
28:43Thank you very much.
28:43Yes, sir.
28:45Good.
28:48Good.
28:49Good.
28:50Good.
28:51Very good.
28:53Good.
28:54Good.
28:55He's OK.
28:57Dr. Hawass, it's not right, he doesn't even have boots on.
28:59He doesn't have a helmet?
29:00That's all the work in Egypt. They work like this. They never work with boots or anything.
29:36Yalla, guys. Come. There's something good. Alan? Derek?
29:48What are you expecting? He's under there.
29:50We'll see.
29:52You just got rid of it?
29:53Be careful.
30:01God. This crate.
30:09What's down there?
30:11Lindsay.
30:12Okay. Okay.
30:14Use the ropes. Okay.
30:16Quickly. I'm coming. I'm coming.
30:18What do you mean? You cannot do it.
30:28Okay. I got it.
30:29Come by. Let me see.
30:30Hi, Dr. Hawes. Oh, my God.
30:32Look, we are going to open this tonight. We have to open it.
30:35We are?
30:36Because it's going to be fantastic. We have no time.
30:39Oh, my God.
30:39We cannot leave it like this because we cannot guard it until tomorrow morning.
30:42And nobody's ever touched it before. It's never been...
30:46Completely intact.
30:47We are so lucky.
30:50That's amazing.
30:50Follow me carefully.
30:51That's so rare to find a tomb.
30:52Yeah.
30:53That's not been robbed already.
30:54Exactly.
30:55Oh, my God.
30:55It will take us hours to open it.
30:59It's completely certain.
31:01Since antiquity.
31:02Oh, that's amazing.
31:03We are going to open it and see what is hidden underneath.
31:14This long day is coming to an end, but not for Zahi or me and my crew.
31:18He's preparing to open a sarcophagus that has been sealed since antiquity.
31:22And we're wondering what he could find inside.
31:25Dr. Zahi, it must wait until tomorrow to open this...
31:30No way.
31:31No one really can protect the discovery tonight until tomorrow.
31:36We have to make the discovery.
31:38Excavate everything tonight.
31:40We'll use light.
31:41We'll work very carefully.
31:42We'll make the discovery tonight.
31:45Okay.
31:45Bring food and drink for everyone.
31:47Okay.
31:47And let us go and work.
31:49At first, we couldn't understand why Zahi was in such a rush.
31:53But then we found out that tomb robbing is still a big problem in Egypt today.
32:08Did you get something in it?
32:10It says she gets something in her eye.
32:12Will you just take a look at her eye?
32:14Maybe have a little wainment for it or something.
32:17As the villagers and children watch Zahi and his workers get ready to excavate into the wee hours of the
32:23night.
32:23I spread a little goodwill amongst the kids.
32:26There you go.
32:26I won't forget you.
32:28Okay, guys.
32:29What?
32:29Wait, wait.
32:43Light it up.
32:45Hold it in your hand and come with me now.
32:47Dr. Hawass, I don't see any inscriptions on the chamber walls.
32:51This type of tomb, Lindsay, don't have any inscriptions.
32:54Why not?
32:55Because that's the way they cut it and they put the sarcophagus.
32:59They care more about the sarcophagus and the mummy inside the sarcophagus.
33:05Okay.
33:06Uh, Lindsay, can you hold my hat?
33:07Of course.
33:09Oh, God, we have artifacts buried near here.
33:13The sarcophagus.
33:18You know, you know, Lindsay Allen, first of all, I would like to tell you, from just looking at, you
33:26know, this is Shawakti.
33:28Shawakti.
33:28They put it beside the deceased.
33:30Then they can answer the questions in the afterlife.
33:34And also, they can do all the tasks for the deceased in the afterlife.
33:39If you look at this, you see this pillar in the back?
33:43Yes.
33:44And you see this space.
33:45Means this is 500 BC.
33:49Wow.
33:502500 years ago.
33:52And for sure, sometimes they put more than 400 Shawakti.
33:56They do have one for every day, 365.
34:02And they have overseers for the Shawaktis to oversee them in the afterlife.
34:08They're servants, right?
34:10Exactly.
34:11They do all the tasks instead of the deceased in the afterlife.
34:17And they answer the questions.
34:21Shawakti in hieroglyphic means to answer some.
34:24Answer.
34:24A sealed sarcophagus like this should contain a mummy.
34:31Okay.
34:31Come by and do more excavation here.
34:33Okay.
34:34With Lindsay and Allen.
34:36Whoa, whoa.
34:37Don't go.
34:37Don't go.
34:38Lindsay.
34:38Yeah.
34:39You don't move until, please, I tell you.
34:41Please.
34:41I'm sorry.
34:42I'm sorry.
34:43We are looking what is hidden beside the sarcophagus.
34:49Lindsay, come and watch her.
34:51Come over here.
34:52Okay.
34:52Leave Mahmoud to do this.
34:53Okay.
34:54Can you bring this light?
34:55Can you show me?
34:55Bring this light.
34:56Use this other one.
35:00Oh, there is a vessel here.
35:14And it's also...
35:16It's intact.
35:18It's intact.
35:23Yeah.
35:24What is it about that that says 26th dynasty?
35:27We know.
35:28Each period we can know.
35:30Each period has a style of pottery.
35:32You know, sometimes if you don't even discover any inscriptions or anything, based on the chronology
35:39of the pottery, you can actually know the dating.
35:43We use pottery now actually for dating.
35:46Would that have been used for a funerary offering?
35:48No.
35:49Pottery used for beer that the deceased can have in the afterlife.
35:55You know, drink wine, wine jars, beer jars, food.
36:00Because he's going to live for good in the afterlife.
36:03Sounds pretty good.
36:04Oh, there is another one here.
36:06They left it as if it contained food that the deceased will live in the afterlife.
36:12Oh, amazing.
36:13Look at that.
36:14Actually, we can move it now carefully.
36:16Phenomenal.
36:17But the way that they put this vessel here, as if it's full of food, that the deceased who
36:25is buried here will use it in the afterlife.
36:28Okay.
36:29Yeah, poor people.
36:31Come on, come on.
36:33Come on.
36:33Please put the art.
36:38Take the artifacts.
36:39Take the artifacts and break the workman.
36:42Yes.
36:43There are three people here.
36:44Let's go, man.
36:45Come on, let's move this way.
36:46Yes.
36:49You'll break the sarcophagus.
36:50You'll break the sarcophagus.
36:51You'll break this side?
36:51Yes.
36:52Come on.
36:54Come on.
36:55More.
36:56Come on.
36:58Come on.
36:58Do you want to take it?
37:00Don't leave it.
37:05Look, look, look at the plaster.
37:07That's amazing.
37:08That's sealing completely.
37:10If you see this in any sarcophagus,
37:13it means it's completely sealed.
37:15What is it?
37:16By mortar, by gipsons since antiquity.
37:18Never opened by anyone before.
37:21So it's never been robbed?
37:22Never been robbed.
37:30I'll give you a good time.
37:31I'll give you a good time.
37:31Good, good.
37:34Let's give you a good time.
37:37I'm not surprised.
37:39I'm not surprised.
37:42The ladies almost five pounds wait.
37:47Oh my God!
37:50You're not a big fan.
37:54We can see the mummy.
38:10With I on the verge of discovering a new mummy,
38:12my crew and I have already started celebrating with the locals.
38:17Hey, Lindsey!
38:19You guys see anything down there?
38:21I'm like, no, you're going to shoot.
38:29I'm going to shoot.
38:31You're going to shoot.
38:32You're going to shoot.
38:34I'm getting hurt.
38:35You're going to shoot.
38:36You're going to shoot.
38:43Oh my God.
38:46All the other coast.
38:50Perfect.
38:50How many people get the chance to see something like this?
38:59What would have caused the head to come off like that?
39:01Bad mummification. The date period mummification was not that strong and good like the New Kingdom mummification.
39:10You can see something maybe happened when they put the bombing here. There's not something in you.
39:17Come on. You know the song?
39:23When something happened and the mummy was cut.
39:33Please, please, I don't want anyone to talk or I will leave.
39:54What an exciting moment. Making a discovery and people are talking outside with nonsense.
40:05You can't understand why people bother us. We are trying to do this work. If one mistake can happen, this
40:13is Yanis.
40:14However,
40:22But the mummification style is also dynasty 26.
40:29The other thing that I cannot answer you is what is hidden inside the mummy.
40:35I'm sure this period is really famous by inserting inside amulets.
40:43The scenes that you can see in the tombs help the deceased to go to the afterlife.
40:49Then this type of amulets will take to replace the scenes.
40:57But actually, you know what we should do now?
41:00One thing, Bahamud will bring the photographer now.
41:03We'll take photography to record that mummy as it is.
41:09And the second important thing, we'll bring the people who do conservation to see what they can do with this
41:16mummy.
41:16Sure.
41:17And after that, we will record and photograph the objects found.
41:21And at the end, I will ask the workmen again to replace the sarcophagus above it.
41:29But I want to tell you, it's very rare in archaeology that you discover something sealed.
41:36This one, in my opinion, is one of the best.
41:39It's sealed with mortar. Look at this. It was everywhere.
41:44And that's why I'm very happy to make a discovery of a mummy like this.
41:51I had to put rules for the first time to protect the Egyptian monuments.
41:55My rules frightened everyone.
41:57Don't end up your archaeology. You put your nose in everything.
42:02I don't like it. You don't understand archaeology.
42:06You understand nothing.
42:08I'm always hard to my assistants. Always.
42:12You want me to go home?
42:13Just don't listen to him. Divorce him.
42:16Derek, jump down.
42:17It's like 40 feet. You're trying to kill me?
42:20This is the only way to get rid of you without any problem.
42:23I am not an easy guy. And you're going to come with me.
42:27Many adventures. You will never forget.
42:31It's just weird to be petting something one second and then five minutes later it was dead.
42:37Didn't the Egyptians have thousands of slaves though?
42:40That is not true. Mummification is wonderful.
42:44There is something wrong with you and I don't like this.
42:47No, there's nothing wrong with me.
42:48Go. You always ask me for favors every day. You make me even sick of it.
42:53I didn't ask for anything.
42:54No.
42:55Zoe.
42:55I lost it.
42:56What are you doing?
42:57I just went to the bathroom. You desecrated the pyramid.
42:59I'm an archaeologist all my life. I want to continue revealing secrets on the sand until the minute I die.
43:07We could face snakes or a scorpion or anything.
43:10Snakes.
43:11Derek, yes, you are tired.
43:13This is bull.
43:14You don't say don't bull to me.
43:16Follow me, you'll be sick. You are with me.
43:20That's wonderful.
43:20You will feel that danger and you will lose weight also.
43:24What happened? Where were you? Are you okay?
43:26Four hours in the desert. Get out of my sight.
43:29I want you to learn.
43:31You say, yes, sir.
43:32Yes, sir.
43:33Yes, sir.
43:33Like in the army.
43:35Archaeology is like in the army.
43:37But it's fun.
43:38Zai Hawass doesn't know anything about the living.
43:41Oh, be careful.
43:42He only concentrates on the dirt.
43:47In Bahariya, Zai discovered a sealed 26th Dynasty sarcophagus.
43:52One mummy undisturbed, 45 Schwabtis, and two offering vessels.
