BBC Documentaries - The Man who Discovered Egypt

Seizoen: 2012 - Aflevering: 53 / 1766 - Eerst uitgezonden: 28 maart 2012 - Episode ID: 626517

Ancient Egypt was vandalised by tomb raiders and treasure hunters until one Victorian adventurer took them on. Most of us have never heard of Flinders Petrie, but this maverick genius underook a scientific survey of the pyramids, discovered the oldest portraits in the world, unearthed Egypt's prehistoric roots - and in the process invented modern field archaeology, giving meaning to a whole civilisation.
