 1947 – Zahi Hawass, Egyptian egyptologist
auguri Zahi!!
Nuove interessanti scoperte all'interno delle camere segrete della 
grande piramide: è veramente lui l'ultimo dei faraoni?
Nuove importanti teorie sulla fine dei Maya: è stato veramente lui a 
decretarne la fine per non intaccare la storia degli egizi?
Ci immeregeremo ancora tra le rovine dell'isola di Yonaguni: la 
struttura circolare è veramente una riproduzione stilizzata del 
responsabile delle antichità egizie?
E infine andremo alla scoperta dei luoghi del mistero italiani: negli 
ultimi anni un gran numero di persone si ritrova ogni anno in una 
semisconosciuta località balneare: è vero che il potente archeologo 
egiziano, discedente dei faraoni, ha creato una setta proprio in 
Italia, a Bibione?
Tutte queste domande e molte altre nella nuova puntata di VOYAGER!
