Flooded Tombs of the Nile (Full Episode) | SPECIAL | National Geographic

It’s a land of pyramids, gold, and ancient treasure. But it’s not Egypt. It's present-day Sudan, once known as the kingdom of Kush. Archaeologists have been in search of clues about this long-neglected culture for centuries, but recent breakthroughs are allowing two National Geographic grantees to get closer than ever before to understanding the Nubians who filled Egypt with golden treasures and accomplished the unthinkable.

I learned all about Egypt in school, but the Kingdom of Kush - not so much. It's fascinating learning a bit about this ancient kingdom, and the process modern archaeologists go through to excavate just one of the tombs of some of these Nubian kings.
