At the heart of the story is a thrilling race, led by the legendary Dr. Zahi Hawass and his protégé-cum-rival, Dr. Mostafa Waziri. Twitter user Wander-full Lerato hailed it as, "A moving story of two men’s mission to reclaim their heritage from Western archaeologists and conquests."

Twitteratis React: "Too Wonderful and Magical for Words"
The documentary has sparked a flurry of varied reactions on Twitter. While some lauded the archaeologists as "The real Indiana Jones," others were skeptical, pondering why the fascination with "something so easy to reengineer." One user noted their hands were "trembling" as they described the documentary as "too wonderful and magical for words."
