Land of the PHARAOHS

BRADLEY WALSH on following in the footsteps of the Ancient Egyptians

- HANNAH DAVIES

Armed with a notebook, measuring tools and a fedora hat, Bradley Walsh looks like he's just stepped on to the set of an Indiana Jones film when he fulfils a long-held dream to visit Egypt for a new Sky History series.

Three-part adventure Bradley Walsh: Egypt's Cosmic Code sees the host of The Chase embark on a mission to discover whether the Ancient Egyptians really built some of the country's famous wonders, like Giza's Great Pyramid and the Great Sphinx, or if they were the work of a super-advanced civilisation lost to history, or even aliens!

'I've always been passionate about Ancient Egypt,' shares Bradley, 64. 'But I heard this rumour that the pyramids weren't built by the Ancient Egyptians at all and that, in fact, they were built by a race that had died out, or by someone or something else. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I wanted to find out the truth!'
