Hrobky a poklady starovekého sveta s obľubou trestajú svojich objaviteľov. Na tých, čo sa odvážia narušiť ich tisícročný spánok a odhaliť pochované tajomstvá, zvyčajne uvalia strašnú kliatbu, alebo ich rovno na mieste pripravia o život. Skupinu amerických archeológov v Egypte čaká obrovské prekvapenie, keď náhodou narazí na stratenú pyramídu pochovanú hlboko pod povrchom púšte. Žiadna iná sa jej zďaleka nevyrovná. Keď však odkryjú hrozné tajomstvo ukryté v jej útrobách, uvedomia si, že sú nielen v pasci, ale navyše ich prenasleduje - a zabíja - čosi extrémne desivé.

Píše sa rok 1912 a mladá šarmantná reportérka AdŹle je ochotná spraviť čokoľvek, aby dosiahla svoj cieľ - plaví sa do Egypta, aby tu preskúmala múmie všetkých tvarov a veľkostí. Neohrozene sa vrhá do boja s podvodníkmi, šialenými vedcami, či skorumpovanými politikmi. Medzitým nastane vo Francúzsku panika. Z vajca pterodaktyla, uloženého v parížskom múzeu, sa vyliahne mláďa a rýchlo narastie do obrovských rozmerov. Vo chvíli, keď Paríž ohrozuje 136 miliónov starý vtákojašter, je to práve ona, kto mestu pribehne na pomoc.

Vedecká expedícia objavila neďaleko pyramíd zvláštny objekt pokrytý neznámymi symbolmi. V prísnom utajení ho začala skúmať armáda. Ubehlo však niekoľko desaťročí, než sa našiel človek, ktorý by nápis rozlúštil. Egyptológ Daniel Jackson zistil, že znaky predstavujú súradnice pre cestu vesmírom na vzdialenú planétu. Rozhodnú sa vyslať prieskumnú jednotku pod vedením plukovníka O'Neilla. Expedícia však potrebuje Danielove znalosti a tak sa nepraktický intelektuál ocitá v prapodivnom svete starej civilizácie.

On the mythical site of Saqqara, the Apis bulls were buried for more than a thousand years in the immense underground necropolis of the Serapheum. Discovered in 1850 by the French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette, this place shelters a treasure of which a part is preserved in the Louvre. The collapse of the ceiling of one of the galleries had however prevented the archaeologist from venturing into the entire necropolis. More than 170 years later, the museum's Egyptologists are continuing the work of their famous predecessor. Investigating the cult of the Apis bull and the mysterious rituals that surrounded it, the team is especially looking for access to the unexplored parts, which have at least eight burial chambers, with the hope of finding intact tombs.

Then begins an archeological investigation, which reveals the story of Ramesses II after-life.

Through a wealth of spectacular buildings, personal artefacts and amazing tombs, Joann brings to life four of ancient Egypt's most powerful female rulers and discovers the remarkable influence wielded by women, whose power and freedom was unique in the ancient world. Throughout Egypt's history, women held the title of pharaoh no fewer than 15 times, and many other women played key roles in running the state and shaping every aspect of life. Joann Fletcher puts these influential women back at the heart of our understanding, revealing the other half of ancient Egypt.
