2. Very cool!

I really enjoy historical documentaries of this kind, and the BBC does consistently great work.

Thanks for posting this link.

3. I was only aware of this because the BBC repeated it here in the UK last night.

I missed it back in 2012. I had a root around this morning to see if I could find it for others to watch.

Watching it I soon realised that the American lady was the one who used satellite images to find undiscovered pyramids in Egypt - she's great.

Happy New year !

9. the poster of the video on youtube

put this in the description

"I'm sharing this documentary but I have to warn you, it is very inaccurate and 'sensationalist'."

granted, he misspelled inaccurate and sensationalist (I corrected here)... lol

10. Makes you wonder not only why he posted it

but also why he didn't then make a more accurate one himself if he thought the BBC's one was crook.
