But even as the monuments
of Egypt crumble,
:29:04
the stories are rediscovered
by modern archaeologists
:29:07
deciphering the distant past.
:29:22
Scholars and artists are
:29:23
preserving the Great Sphinx for all humanity.
:29:34
Research within the
Giza pyramids has revealed
:29:37
the brilliance of
ancient architects
:29:39
whose sophisticated
designs prevented
:29:42
the collapse of these
inner chambers and passageways.
:29:47
DNA analysis is helping to
:29:49
identify family ties of the royal
mummies
:29:52
and to give us clues about
how they lived and died.
:30:01
New excavations are uncovering
:30:03
the support system of settlements
:30:05
and facilities for the workers
:30:07
who built the Giza pyramids.
:30:16
These new discoveries
and many more-owe themselves
:30:20
at least in part,
:30:22
to one discovery
not quite as modern
:30:26
of the tomb of a
teenage pharaon.
:30:34
On November 26, 1922,
:30:37
Howard Carter reached the wall
:30:38
outside the first chamber
of Tutankhamon's tomb.
:30:42
What can you see?
:30:56
Carter, please,
can you see anything?
