The pyramids are Egypt's most iconic monuments, but we still don't fully understand how they evolved. Now archaeologists launch new investigations. They unearth the pyramid builders' lost fleet inside a mysterious cave system near the Red Sea. They use high-tech laser scanning to find the first true pyramid and uncover the world's oldest industrial-scale brewery which made the pyramids possible.

Archaeologists investigate one of the great mysteries of ancient Egypt - the mummy. At the ancient city of Philadelphia, Egyptologists uncover a stunningly preserved mummy dating from the end of Egyptian civilisation.

January 17th, 2008. Approaching the end of its ten-and a half hour journey from Beijing, British Airways Flight #38 is preparing to land in Heathrow. But just as the first officer takes over the controls, and only two minutes before it touches down, the aircraft is inexplicably crippled by double engine failure. Quickly falling out of the sky and with just seconds to react, the captain raises the plane's flaps to reduce drag. And while the plane narrowly misses the buildings and radio antennas in its path, it crashes just short of the runway, ripping off the engines and landing gear. Incredibly, all 152 people on board survive. But can investigators determine what brought down one of the world's most sophisticated jetliners?
