The Ancient Egyptians have left behind an astonishing legacy of tombs, temples and artefacts all rich in detail and symbolism that tell the stories of life and death on the banks of the River Nile.
Beginning at the mouth of the mighty River Nile, Bettany travels almost 1,000 miles on a series of boats (traditional and modern) to Egypt’s border with Sudan.
