Plot Synopsis
UNKNOWN is a four-part docuseries that tells stories of adventure and exploration in uncharted territories. Premiering weekly, each film ventures into unexplored regions and unlocks the secrets of our world through the stories of people and places never before captured on camera. One film debuted on each of the first four Mondays in July 2023 on Netflix:
"The Lost Pyramid" (Monday, July 3, 2023): In the desert sands of Saqqara, the latest hotspot of Egyptian archaeology, two of the world's most famous Egyptologists seek to unearth ancient treasures. The legendary Dr. Zahi Hawass hunts for the long-lost pyramid of a forgotten Egyptian king while his protege and rival, Dr. Mostafa Waziri, searches for an unlooted tomb in an ancient necropolis. Both teams race against the clock to see who will make the bigger discovery and make their mark in history. Directed by Max Salomon.
"Killer Robots" (Monday, July 10, 2023): Deep in the heart of the military-industrial complex, a new kind of soldier is being developed. AI-powered robots are changing the face of warfare, and increasingly making their own decisions on the battlefield. This film follows the soldiers and scientists racing to build these technologies, and the activists on a mission to expose their dangerous potential. Directed by Jesse Sweet.
"Cave of Bones" (Monday, July 17, 2023): In South Africa's Cradle of Humankind, Paleoanthropologist Lee Berger has found the world's oldest graveyard -- and it's not human. If Lee and his team can prove that this ancient, small brained, ape-like creature practiced complex burial rituals -- it will change everything we know about hominid evolution and the origins of belief. Directed by Mark Mannucci.
"Cosmic Time Machine" (Monday, July 24, 2023): With unique access behind-the-scenes to NASA's ambitious mission to launch the James Webb Space Telescope, we follow a team of engineers and scientists as they take the next giant leap in our quest to understand the universe. Directed by Shai Gal.
