Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb Trailer Plays Like a Mummy Thriller

In this trailer for the documentary Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb, we follow a team of archaeologists as they uncover fascinating artifiacts in a miraculously preserved and unlooted tomb over 4000 years old. It plays almost like a thriller at first, as if you're expecting a mummy attack, before turning triumphant around the one-minute mark.

The team is made up entirely of local Egyptians, and we thrill with them as they uncover secret passages, feline fur, and sarcophogi in the tomb of Wahtye, a high-ranking priest from the Fifth Dynasty.

Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb premieres October 28 on Netflix.

Andy Hunsaker has a head full of sitcom gags and nerd-genre lore, and can be followed @AndyHunsaker if you're into that sort of thing.
