THE REAL RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK

At Tanis, a vast ruined city buried in the mud of the Nile Delta, French archaeologist Pierre Montet uncovered something extraordinary: a series of royal tombs filled with gold, silver, jewels, coffins, masks and thousands of priceless objects. Now, Professor Alice Roberts travels to the real-life Raiders location to uncover the story Hollywood only hinted at. In October 2026, Alice joins the modern French archaeological mission as it continues to investigate the royal necropolis.

This is the real story behind Raiders of the Lost Ark: a lost city, a forgotten treasure, and one of the greatest archaeological mysteries the world almost missed.
