With his Indiana Jones hat, his unique brand of entertainment and his unusual camel-riding technique, it's fair to say that Bradley is unlike anyone the Egyptians (ancient or modern) have ever encountered before.

S1E3 - Search for the Boy King
The presenter sets out to uncover the mysteries of King Tutankhamun. Along the way, he encounters the enigmatic 'Alien King' Akhenaten and his wife, Nefertiti.
