Egypt's Unexplained Files

—The abundance of history, culture, science and art associated with ancient Egypt belies the fact that details about the civilization's way of life remain a mystery. Science Channel's 10-episode series uses cutting-edge archaeological technology to potentially answer questions that have befuddled Egyptologists for generations. Topics explored include a re-creation of what Queen Cleopatra may have looked like; ancient Egyptians' obsession with death and the afterlife; the civilization's breakthroughs in varied fields, from medicine to engineering; and the truth and lies behind ancient Egypt's best known and loved icons, including the Great Sphinx, Tutankhamun or the lost city of Tanis.
