An Afternoon of "Chasing Mummies" September 25, 2010

In the History Channel's hit reality series “Chasing Mummies,” cameras follow closely as Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass and his cadre of fellows unearth astonishing finds and tackle some of the world's greatest archaeological mysteries.

David Cheetham, archaeologist and star of “Chasing Mummies,” will be on hand for a brief lecture and Q&A with the audience.
“Chasing Mummies,” Episode 5: SUNKEN, 44 min. Zahi Hawass has finally permitted archaeologists from the Hellenic Institute to dive into the Mediterranean Sea and bring up a relic confirmed to be part of Cleopatra’s historic shrine. But with the persistent problems of permits and an impending storm approaching, Hawass’ fury is felt by everyone working to get this 2,000-year-old pylon out of Alexandria's Eastern Harbor.
