Overview:

Circus strongman-turned-adventurer Giovanni Belzoni filled the British Museum with some of ancient Egypt's greatest treasures, including the seven-ton head of Rameses II. But as a result of a bitter feud he died in obscurity, never gaining the recognition he deserved. This docudrama advances the case for Belzoni as one of Egyptology's founding fathers.
