Egypt's New Royal Tomb Discovery with Dr. Chris Naunton. What's next?
News from the Field 2025, Part 1. In February 2025, the breaking news was the discovery of a royal tomb.

I reported on that initial find in the news roundup for that year. Now, another season has passed, and the team’s work has come to fruition...I am also joined by Dr. Chris Naunton, former Director of the Egypt Exploration Society, who was discussed the new...

The Sphinx: Egypt's Greatest Mystery
The Great Sphinx of Giza is the most recognisable statue in the world - and one of the most mysterious.

These include tales of what lies inside… In this episode, Dr Chris Naunton joins Matt Lewis to explore how the Sphinx was likely made; the evidence for who made it; and the many myths that surround it to this day.Echoes of...
