About This Program ✦
Great Pyramid Secrets Revealed is a television programme presented as a single episode, falling under the genre of factual entertainment. The show centres on an investigative venture that seeks to uncover hidden aspects of the ancient monument, using modern technology and hands‑on experimentation. In this episode, presenter Josh Gates takes part in a bold experiment that attempts to recreate the methods used to build the Great Pyramid. By joining a team that is physically reconstructing the ancient construction process, Gates provides a first‑hand look at the challenges and techniques that might have been employed by the original builders. A key feature of the programme is the deployment of cutting‑edge three‑dimensional scanning technology. These scans, described as the first of their kind applied to the pyramid, capture the interior structure in unprecedented detail. The data produced by the scans expose a previously unknown void that lies beneath the stonework of the monument. The discovery of this hidden cavity adds a new layer of intrigue to the pyramid’s architecture. By combining a hands‑on building experiment with high‑resolution 3D imaging, the episode offers viewers a fresh perspective on how the ancient structure was assembled and what mysteries may still be concealed within its stone.
