Overview: The Great Pyramid of Giza has fascinated people for centuries. In November 2017, the ScanPyramids research team announced they had made a historic discovery - using cutting-edge, non-invasive technology, they discovered several new cavities within the Great Pyramid. This is the biggest discovery to happen in the Pyramids in centuries.

DVD Verdict: For those not in the know, The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt.

Indeed, it is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact.

Based on a mark in an interior chamber naming the work gang and a reference to the fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu, Egyptologists believe that the pyramid was built as a tomb over a 10- to 20-year period concluding around 2560 BC.

Initially at 146.5 metres (481 feet), the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for more than 3,800 years. Originally, the Great Pyramid was covered by limestone casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface; what is seen today is the underlying core structure.

Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base. There have been varying scientific and alternative theories about the Great Pyramid's construction techniques. Most accepted construction hypotheses are based on the idea that it was built by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place.

There were, as we discover, only ever three known chambers inside the Great Pyramid. The lowest chamber is cut into the bedrock upon which the pyramid was built and was unfinished. The so-called Queen's Chamber and King's Chamber are higher up within the pyramid structure.

The main part of the Giza complex is a set of buildings that included two mortuary temples in honour of Khufu (one close to the pyramid and one near the Nile), three smaller pyramids for Khufu's wives, an even smaller "satellite" pyramid, a raised causeway connecting the two temples, and small mastaba tombs surrounding the pyramid for nobles.

'Secrets of the Dead: Scanning the Pyramids' shows how modern-day explorers - particle physicists, experts in 3D technologies, and engineers in thermal imaging - have (potentially) made this massive discovery of these new cavities within the Great Pyramid.

The first scientific mission in 30 years to be authorized by the Egyptian government to examine the pyramids, the global team of ScanPyramids explored large portions of the pyramid for two years.

So sit down, take a pew and watch avidly ScanPyramid's adventures and successes in this extraordinary journey through time and space. You won't be disappointed, trust me. This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.78:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs.
