This video features a list of 15 discoveries of Ancient Egyptian structures and items that are significant to the nation's culture in a documentary on the Discovery Channel that was produced, filmed, and narrated by Zahi Hawass. With the aid of some of the top Egyptologists in the universe, Hawass put together the list. Every find has a subject that is focused on a feature of daily life in Egyptian Civilization. An emphasis is put on how a number of the concepts from six of those discoveries have had an impact on contemporary life. A brief section on how current surgery was affected by the method of mummification, which uses many of the same practices, comes near the end of the film.
