Army maneuvers have shut down the guys journey to restore an ancient minaret and now they must take a treacherous journey through the White Desert to camp overnight.

Most people experience something rare or exceptional once or twice in a lifetime, but Zahi Hawass, unimpeded by his tireless lust for adventure, lives many lifetimes in a single day; Zahi moves from a dig site in Saqqara...descending deep underground to uncover a cache of mummies; to the Workmen's Cemetery; and finally, discovers a rare and important piece of Egyptian history...a beautiful anthropoid sarcophagus from the 26th Dynasty! After a day like that, anyone would be ready to end their day...not Zahi...he's going to party at one of Cairo's latest hotspots!

Zahi permits archaeologists from the Hellenic Institute to dive into the Mediterranean Sea and bring up a nine-ton pylon that is a confirmed part of Cleopatra's historic shrine.

Zahi supervises the restoration of the Step Pyramid; Lindsay almost loses her job; Zoe gets locked inside the pyramid and Zahi races to save her.

Alice, the marine archaeologist from Alexandria, wants to ask Zahi for a spot in the fellowship program; Zahi wants to see if the long-forgotten Falcon Galleries can be restored as a new tourist destination.

Zahi takes a final journey to the Five Chambers pyramid to document the ancient graffiti on the walls and prove his theory; a near-death experience leaves all gasping for air.

Zahi's truly-devoted archaeological workers name a brand new tomb complex in Luxor after their boss; the crew goes deep underground to discover five intact burials and a murdered mummy.

Zahi heads to Sheikh Sobey and discovers an amazing mummy inside a sarcophagus; a missing piece of an offering table is headed back to Karnak Temple in Luxor from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Zahi is getting ready to open two sealed tombs for the first time in thousands of years, but Zoe is late again; At the ``Festival of the Sacrifice,'' Derek and Allan begin to learn about the customs and traditions of their host country.

Zahi goes to the Giza Plateau to explore caves beneath the plateau in an effort to disprove a theory about underground passages to the Sphinx, but he has to contend with the bats that dwell there; and he agrees to attend a local wedding celebration.
