How did such an important work of art end up shattered and discarded in a muddy hole in a Cairo suburb? Until recently, the Egyptian pharaoh, known as Psamtik I, was just a footnote in history. That all changed when archaeologists stumbled upon the remnants of a massive statue made in his honor in a Cairo suburb. Host Adam Mastrelli shows how this remarkable find has led to the rediscovery of a game-changing ruler, who rescued his crumbling country from vicious invaders and brought a new golden era to ancient Egypt. It's a discovery that has restored the great legacy of a forgotten pharaoh. |
