Gates will take you through a two-hour, multiplatform event, along with an all-star team, including Chris Jacobs, Egyptianologist Dr. Zahi Hawass, and Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt secretary-general, Mostafa Waziri. Throughout the two hours, you’ll see the inner chambers of the site, where archeologists recently uncovered a vertical shaft network that led to the underground tunnels and tombs. The noble elite of centuries-old mummies have been forgotten about all this time and now their mysteries will unfold.
