About this episode
What happens when an entire city disappears? Beneath the sands and wetlands of Egypt lie the remains of forgotten cities that once stood at the heart of one of the ancient world’s greatest civilisations. In this episode of The Ancients , Tristan Hughes is joined by Egyptologist Chris Naunton to uncover the story of Egypt’s lost cities.
