Overview
A team of archaeologists, followed by cameras, uncover the tomb of a wealthy non-pharaonic citizen of the Middle Kingdom, Prince Uage. At the Fayum oasis, using forensic techniques, scientists reconstruct Uage's image from the mummy's facial bones, and "rebuild" the tomb complex using sophisticated computer-assisted technology. This program also traces the history of the area through previously discovered archaeological sites
