An ancient egyptian sarcophagus is set to be opened live on TV during a two-hour Discovery Channel show. The event, hosted by Chris Jacobs and explorer Josh Gates, will see the team traveling through an underground network of chambers and tunnels where it is thought 40 mummies once part of the noble elite were entombed.
During the live broadcast, viewers will be taken into the inner chambers of an excavation. At the site, which has not been disclosed, archaeologists recently found a network of vertical shafts that lead to tunnels and tombs that have been undisturbed for thousands of years. In Expedition Unknown, viewers will be taken into several unexplored chambers—one of which holds a “mysterious limestone sarcophagus found buried deep within the complex,” Discovery said in a statement. “The identity of the mummy inside has been a mystery for 3,000 years.... Possibly until now,” it added.
