Follow an adventurous archaeologist as he journeys to the farthest reaches of the earth on a quest driven by his belief that the secrets of the past are yet to be revealed.

Carefully preserved mummies and entombed skeletons are the link to ancient civilizations. Each presents a mystery to unravel, a life to understand, a world to explore and a death to reveal.

But these long-hidden remains do not yield their secrets easily. Ancient tombs are protected by lush vegetation, inhospitable terrain, ever-changing weather, dangerous wildlife and man-made obstacles.

Finding mummies, and solving the mysteries they raise, takes our adventurer to some of the most spectacular and remote places on our planet.
