Bradley Walsh: Egypt's Cosmic Code
Egypt's Cosmic Code charts Bradley Walsh's first trip to Egypt in search of answers to some of Ancient History's biggest mysteries - who built the pyramids, why and how? Could Ancient Egyptians have supernatural abilities, and is the Great Sphinx much older than we think? This three-part series sees Bradley fulfil a lifetime’s ambition to visit the monuments of Ancient Egypt and try to understand how it could have been possible to produce such 'wonders of the ancient world' 4,500 years ago. Apprenticed to Rolls Royce long before he embarked on his stellar TV career, Bradley has had an enduring fascination with ancient engineering and with the idea that the construction feats of our ancient forebears could only have been possible with the participation of some 'other worldly' or extraterrestrial influence.

1. Written in the StarsBradley Walsh begins his journey into Ancient Egypt, driven by a lifelong fascination with its most iconic structures, the pyramids. As a former Rolls Royce engineer, Bradley questions mainstream theories about their construction, finding the numbers puzzling. Armed with measuring tools, his notebook & alternative hypothesis, he examines the Great Pyramid’s exterior and earlier structures like the Step Pyramid, Bent Pyramid, and Red Pyramid to uncover how they were built and by whom. Then, fulfilling a dream, he ventures inside the Great Pyramid at night to confront a hotly debated question: was it truly a Pharaoh’s tomb built 4,500 years ago, or could it be even older with a purpose linked to extraterrestrial power generation?CC46minMar 18, 2025
2. Riddle of the SphinxBradley dives deeper into Egypt’s mysteries, exploring the Great Sphinx and the underground Serapeum with its precision-cut granite sarcophagi, questioning their purpose and links to the pyramid enigma. Traveling south, he visits the intricately designed Dendera Temple, where hieroglyphs and imagery hint at possible extraterrestrial connections. He concludes at the sprawling Karnak temple complex, marvelling at its monumental engineering, sphinx-lined avenues, and Hatshepsut’s towering obelisk - wondering whether it’s simply a monument or a channel for cosmic energy.CC45minMar 25, 2025
3. Search For the Boy KingBradley sets out to uncover the mysteries of King Tutankhamun. Along the way, he encounters the enigmatic “Alien King” Akhenaten and his wife, Nefertiti. Sailing down the Nile, he investigates how the Ancient Egyptians transported enormous stone blocks for their architectural marvels, including the 700-ton Colossi of Memnon. His quest then leads him into the Valley of the Kings, where he discovers the resting places of Akhenaten and King Tut’s successor, Horemheb - before finally coming face-to-face with the mummy of the Boy King himself.CC45minApr 1, 2025
