I've blogged about this show, a few weeks ago as Deadliest Catch was winding down. This show is great! It's real life archeology adventure and it's just really compelling to watch it.
It's not so much the dirt and dust that make it compelling, or the sparse Egyptian landscape but rather the interns, the film crew, the executive producer, and of course Dr. Zahi Hawas that make this show work.
Last night a pylon possibly having something to do with Cleopatra's barge was found and raised from the sea floor. That was quite a project in and of itself as a crane was needed to load another crane on the ship that was going to recover the artifact. Then divers were employed to put straps around the nine ton pylon.
Problems arose when the Egyptian Coast Guard, port officials, and others got involved over permits and such. At the end of the day Dr. Hawas triumphs, lost his temper, and the executive producer got all of the shots he needed.
I highly recommend watching just one episode of this show and then challenging you to just watch one!
