Ep 103. Lost Tomb of the Mummy

In season 7, episode 103 of Expedition Unknown, host Josh Gates travels to Egypt to investigate the mystery of a lost tomb of a mummy. The episode begins with Gates traveling to the famous Valley of the Kings, a burial ground for pharaohs and powerful nobles in ancient Egypt. Despite the fact that the valley has been extensively studied and excavated for centuries, there are still many hidden tombs and secrets waiting to be discovered.

Gates meets up with local experts and archaeologists who tell him about a recent discovery in the valley: a new tomb that might contain the remains of a previously unknown pharaoh. While exploring the area surrounding the tomb, Gates discovers a mysterious inscription that hints at the location of another, even more elusive tomb: that of a high priest who lived around the same time as the pharaoh.

Determined to unravel the mystery, Gates sets out to find the lost tomb of the mummy. He travels deep into the desert, relying on his own wits and the expertise of local guides to navigate the harsh terrain. Along the way, he encounters challenges both physical and mental, as he must decipher cryptic clues and overcome dangerous obstacles to reach his goal.

As he gets closer to his destination, Gates begins to uncover evidence that suggests the lost tomb may indeed exist. He finds ancient artifacts and inscriptions that point the way, and he encounters locals who claim to have knowledge of the tomb's location. However, each lead he follows seems to lead to a dead end, and he realizes that the mystery of the lost tomb is more complex than he ever imagined.

Undeterred, Gates keeps pushing forward, delving deeper into the mysteries of the ancient world. With each step, he learns more about the pharaohs and priests who ruled Egypt thousands of years ago, and he gains a greater understanding of the spiritual beliefs and cultural practices that shaped their lives and deaths.

In the end, Gates uncovers the truth about the lost tomb of the mummy, but not before facing a final challenge that tests his courage, determination, and resilience. As he emerges from the desert, triumphant but exhausted, he realizes that the journey has left him with a deeper appreciation for the wonders of the ancient world and the sacrifices made by those who came before us.
