It is 2480 BC, and there is nothing to be seen in this part of the Sahara Desert... nothing but the shifting sand. But that is all about to change... when thousands of men are shipped here from all the provinces of ancient Egypt... when they quarry millions of tons of stone and drag it to this desert plateau... to construct a tomb for Khufu, their king... built, as they believe, according to a secret code, with the power to perform a miracle. For more than 4,000 years, humans have considered this - the oldest and only one of the Seven Ancient Wonders to survive intact - as one of the greatest mysteries on Earth. Now we can unravel that mystery in a way never attempted before. By combining the latest historical research with the most up-to-date visual technology, we can travel back in time and see the Great Pyramid of Giza through the eyes of the men who built it... and one man in particular. He's not a real historical figure, but the events in his life are based on real evidence - from the journey he travels and the clothes that he wears to the enormity of the work that he's given. His name is Nakht.
