SECRETS OF THE DEAD: EGYPT'S DARKEST HOUR DVD
Secrets of the Dead: Egypt's Darkest Hour The discovery of a rare mass grave with the bones of nearly 60 people outside Luxor sends archaeologists on a quest to find out who the remains belong to, why they were buried the way they were, and what was happening in ancient Egypt that would have led to a mass burial. Could the collapse of the empire's Old Kingdom provide any clues? Producer: Davina Bristow
Following the long reign of Pepi II, a series of weak kings ruled ineffectively. Without a strong central government, local leaders asserted themselves, fracturing the country's power base. And as the climate shifted all over the world, the country was then hit by a decades-long drought that caused a great famine and economic failure.
Were the bodies found in the grave victims of the famine, civil war, or something else?
