Name: Bradley Walsh: Egypt's Cosmic Code
Genre: Documentary
Released: 2025-03-18
Rating: 6.7
Cast: Bradley Walsh, Tony McMahon

The choice of Bradley Walsh as a host may raise a few eyebrows but he comes at this as a complete novice, which is exactly what's needed for an audience new to Egyptology. The series is an interesting mix of standard academia with some surprisingly open-minded speculation. The usual archaeological assumptions are repeated regarding the composition of the pyramids and function of the boxes in the Serapeum but, whilst Bradley's sensational theories involving aliens and pyramid power plants are debunked, his correct observations about the disproportionately small head of the Sphinx go unchallenged. His TV friendly sidekick Meredith also shows him physical proof of concept regarding how the Egyptians moved blocks of stone and the larger civil engineering puzzles are explained with easy to follow chalkboard style graphics. Although the mathematical 'coincidences' associated with the Great Pyramid are mentioned I don't remember Bradley actually cracking whatever Egypt's 'cosmic code' really is but the whole thing is well produced, fun with nothing too heavy that could scare away a potential newbie archaeologist. The series also accurately conveys how fascinating and enjoyable it is to simply take a break from the modern technological world and fully immerse yourself in the architecture and mysticism of an ancient civilization. As Bradley says at the end, 'You've got to come here.'

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
