Chasing Mummies on the History Channel

Chasing Mummies is a History Channel show that takes you deep into the Egyptian sands to find what lies beneath. This archeological tour, led by Dr. Zahi Hawass, takes viewers into the nature of an archeological dig and on the adventure of a lifetime as they explore ancient Egypt in search of things of the past.

Chasing Mummies first aired on July 14, 2010. New shows air every Wednesday where you can find Dr. Zahi Hawass and his crew digging for Egyptian Antiquities. Ten episodes into the season, we have seen the crew making some miracles finds and learn how to work together as a group. Over the past three months viewers has become acquainted to the following people on Dr. Zahi's crew.

Not only does Chasing Mummies provide an entertainment factor it also takes viewers back in time to learn a few things about the historic times and how the world worked back then. There are a few interesting facts that viewers learn. The liver, intestines, lungs, and stomach are removed from Egyptian mummies. Or that there are 7 shrouds placed over each mummy. If you want to learn more about the ancient Egyptian ways, I would recommend that you tune into Chasing Mummies to see what else the crew and Dr. Zahi can unfold before your very eyes.
