Dara Ó Briain to present Channel 5 series on pyramids

Irish comedian and presenter Dara Ó Briain is leading a Channel 5 series about pyramids. The Mysteries of the Pyramids, produced by Wildflame, will see Ó Briain joined by archaeologist Raksha Dave and Egyptologist Dr Chris Naunton to explore compelling questions and far-fetched theories surrounding pyramids. “What a joy to explore these great monuments to human ingenuity and effort; to sort out the amazing facts from the many, frankly, ridiculous fictions that surround them; but mainly to live out all my Indiana Jones fantasies, scrambling in sandy tunnels in search of treasure, just without all the Nazis or the snakes,” said Ó Briain. The Mysteries of the Pyramids has Emmy award-winning Ben Fox (Attenborough and the African Elephant, Me and My Dog) as Executive Producer, Ewen Thomson as Series Producer and Director and Josh Key as Producer. Silverlining Rights is the exclusive worldwide distribution partner.
