Professor!

Catherine!

Professor...

We found something beautiful!

I don't believe it!

Big, big, big surprise!

Over here!

Taylor!

Dr Langford, hello.

What have we here?

Cover stones.

It's fantastic.

Catherine,

come!

What in God's name is that?

I wish I knew.

There are symbols

painted everywhere.

Names, titles of owners,

lists of offerings.

All major structures at the time...

...were covered with hieroglyphics.

When will

the academic community accept...

...the pharaohs of the 4th dynasty...

...did not build the Great Pyramid?

Look, look...

Inside the most incredible

structure ever erected...

...there are no writings whatsoever.

Doctor Jackson!

You left out the fact

that Colonel Vyse...

...discovered

quarrymen's inscriptions...

...of Khufu's name

within the pyramid.

Uh, his discovery was a fraud.

Well, I hope you can prove it.

Who do you think

built the pyramids?

I don't have any idea. I mean...

Men from Atlantis?

Or Martians, perhaps?

The point is not who built them,

but when they were built.

I mean, we all know...

...new geological evidence

dates the Sphinx...

...back to a much earlier period.

I think we have

to begin to re-evaluate...

...everything

we've come to accept about...

I mean, I've been able to show...

...a fully developed

writing system...

...appeared

in the first two dynasties.

You know, which...

Almost as if it was based...

...on an even earlier prototype.

Is there a lunch or something

that everybody...

- Doctor Jackson?

- What? Yes?

Someone wants to speak with you.

The Air Force?

What's this? What is this?

Step over to the car, please.

Sir?

- We goin' somewhere?

- You'll be fine.

We'll take care of these.

Jackson...

...those your parents?

Foster parents.

What is this all about?

A job.

What kind of a job?

Translation.

Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Interested?

I'm gonna go now.

Go where? You've just been evicted

from your apartment.

Your grants have run out.

Everything you own

are in those two bags.

You want to prove

that your theories are right?

This is your chance.

What's this?

Travel plans.

Sir?

Mrs O'Neil?

Come on in.

Mrs O'Neil, is your husband home?

Yes.

Might we be able to speak with him?

You can try.

Excuse me, Colonel O'Neil.

We're from General West's office.

Sir?

We're here to inform you

that you've been reactivated.

That guy's a mess.

How'd he get like that?

His kid died.

Accidentally shot himself.

Jesus!

"Clear."

Cold?

Allergies.

Always happens when I travel.

There you go.

Hi.

Doctor Jackson?

Doctor Gary Meyers. How are you?

What is this place?

Nuclear missile silo.

But it's been converted.

- Barbara Shore.

- Hello.

Okay, Jackson.

- Welcome.

- Hello!

This...

Where'd you find this?

Giza Plateau, 1928.

I've never seen anything like this.

Of course you haven't.

No-one has.

There's two lines of hieroglyphs.

The inner track

has the classic figures.

But the outer track is like

the cartouche in the centre.

It's got writing

unlike we've ever found before.

Those aren't hieroglyphics.

It might be some form

of hieratic or maybe cuneiform.

The translation

of the inner track is wrong.

Must've used Budge. I don't know

why they keep reprinting him.

Excuse me?

What... what are you doing?

We... we've used

every known technique.

That's a curious word to use

- "Gebbeh".

Yeah.

Then an adverbial "sedjem-en-ef".

Then "sealed"...

...and "buried".

Excuse me.

What are you... what are you doing?

It's not "coffin".

It's "for all time".

Who the hell translated this?

I... I did.

It should read
