Egypt: The Treasure of the Sacred Bulls on SBS

Egypt: The Treasure of the Sacred Bulls Premieres tonight on SBS.

In this documentary, we join a team of archaeologists sent by the Louvre Museum to complete the excavation of the Serapeum tomb of the bull of Apis, one of the holiest sites in all of Saqqara, Egypt, begun by Egyptologist Auguste Mariette in 1850.

He did not have time to explore the network of tunnels that Mariette had mapped out, but he did learn that it led to additional burial sites.

We get behind-the-scenes access to watch an archaeology team dig deeper into Mariette’s story.
