Is This the The Lost City of Ramesses the Second? | Our History

For three millennia, it lay buried and forgotten in the Nile Delta, the mythical capital of ancient Egypt's greatest pharaoh, Ramesses II. Now, for the first time, a team led by Professor Henning Franzmeier is excavating the very palace of Ramesses II within the incredible city of Pi-Ramesses. Join us as we explore the ongoing archaeological dig that's revealing new secrets every year from this monumental city, rediscovered at the end of the 20th century.
