In the season 17 premiere of Secrets of the Dead, a team of international researchers set out to uncover the secrets of the Great Pyramid of Giza using cutting-edge technology. "Scanning the Pyramids" follows the team as they attempt to solve one of the greatest mysteries of ancient Egypt: how were the pyramids built?

Using special scanners and mapping techniques, the team aims to create a complete picture of the interior of the pyramid, including its hidden chambers and passages. They hope that this new data will help them understand the methods used to construct the pyramid and shed light on the lives of the workers who built it.

The team includes scientists from around the world, as well as researchers from Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities. They work together to create a detailed map of the pyramid's interior, using a variety of technologies including infrared thermography and 3D scanning.

As the team uncovers more and more of the pyramid's secrets, they begin to understand just how impressive the construction of the Great Pyramid was. They discover hidden rooms and passages that have never been seen before, as well as clues to how the pyramid was built and what it was used for.

But the research is not without its challenges. The team must contend with extreme heat and cramped conditions as they work, and some of the most significant discoveries are made in unexpected places. As they map the interior of the pyramid, the team must also be careful not to damage the fragile ancient structure.

Despite these challenges, the team persists, driven by their curiosity and a desire to learn more about one of the world's most iconic structures. By the end of the episode, they have uncovered some of the pyramid's deepest secrets and gained a newfound respect for the ingenuity and perseverance of the ancient Egyptians.

"Scanning the Pyramids" is a fascinating look at the intersection of ancient history and modern technology, and a reminder of just how much we still have to learn about the world around us.
