The Pharoah and the Showman.
Six-part drama about the discovery of Ancient Egypt. The first of two
episodes on Egypt's greatest and most eccentric explorer, Giovanni
Belzoni, looks at how he tried careers as an engineer and a circus
showman before travelling to Cairo. He visited an ancient temple and
recovered a seven ton statue of Ramesses the Great for the British
Museum, an experience that set him on a journey that would make him
one of the fathers of Egyptology. And Ramesses himself was to
influence Belzoni's life more than the explorer would ever know.
