Two teams of Egyptologists, one based in the middle of the desert, the other located on the Red Sea coast, are currently discovering more about the Egypt of Khufu’s time, than at the foot of the pyramids. What they found help them figure out how ancient Egyptians worked. Authentic archaeological experiments have been filmed in real time, revealing ancient techniques and methods, unlocking certain secrets of these ancient great builders.

From the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the pyramids of Giza are the only one to have survived today. The highest of them is the pyramid of Khufu, and is at the same time the most enigmatic of all the pharaonic constructions. The French architect Jean-Pierre Houdin presents innovative research based on new technologies, which re-examines the Khufu pyramid providing a revolutionary hypothesis on its construction system.
