200 years ago, a young French scientist, Jean-François Champollion, succeeded in doing the impossible: deciphering the code of the hieroglyphs, which had remained silent for over a thousand years. Thanks to this key, an entire civilization buried under the sands of Egypt was reborn... In the south of the country, near Luxor, a palace of hieroglyphs intrigues Egyptologists: the tomb of a priest called Padiamenope, the most monumental in Egypt, larger than those of the pharaons.
