"Everyone is an explorer. How could you possibly live your life looking at a door and not go open it?"

For an entire week, the National Geographic Channel will take you from the sands of Egypt, to the depths of the oceans, to the craters of the Moon and back. Seven nights of expeditons led by today's Intrepid Explorers will highlight discoveries, theories and amazing historical artifacts that will reveal a world that is unknown to many of us. Throughout each expedition, witness the dauntless passion of today's top adventurers, scientists and real-life treasure seekers.

First, we tackle a millenniums-old mystery using nothing but blueprints of the Great Pyramid at Giza and a computer -- finding that the answer to Unlocking the Great Pyramid might be inside. Then marvel at high-definition video of the moon's surface beamed directly back from just above the moon by the Japanese lunar orbiter Kaguya in Direct From the Moon. Then, back on earth, the discovery of an untouched shipwreck laden with artifacts could validate the legend in Shipwreck! Captain Kidd.

Then ride along as a team of archaeologists uncover the forgotten remains of our first president's childhood home, offering new insight into The Real George Washington.
Journey up the Amazon with scientists who believe they have found evidence of an immense civilization rivaling any other ancient metropolis in Lost Cities of the Amazon. Head from the Amazon to the Nile -- gear up to solve some of the most enduring, centuries-old enigmas in the lives of ancient Egyptian rulers and artifacts with three episodes of Egypt Unwrapped.

Concluding our weeklong event, explore a lost burial site that could be one of the most important archaeological discoveries since the Dead Sea Scrolls in this added eighth-night bonus premiere of Herod's Lost Tomb.
