10/25/99, 9:00 p.m. ET Gates embarks on an epic journey of discovery through Egypt and Sudan. By train, boat, twin-prop plane and jeep, he travels from the tourist trails of Egypt to the most distant outposts in the Sudanese desert, where few foreign visitors ever set foot. His journey begins at the pyramids of Giza; then he heads south to Aswan, where many contemporary Nubians have moved since the Aswan dam flooded their homeland, and to the stunning temple of Abu Simbel. From Khartoum, he travels north to the spectacular ruins of Meroe and Musawwarat. A journey across the desert brings him to Jebel Barkal, once the capital of Nubian kings who conquered the whole of Egypt. His final destination is Kerma, a site dominated by the 4,000-year-old remains of the vast temple of Nubia's earliest capital city. Archaeologist Charles Bonnet, who has been excavating Kerma for more than 30 years, believes its origins date back 5,000 years.
