Ade Adepitan is in Egypt, as the capital, Cairo, prepares to open the doors to the biggest archaeological museum in the world. But, after the problems of political unrest and terrorism since the revolution in 2011, can this grand, new centre of Egyptology help bolster the country's once thriving tourism industry. Ade also visits the pyramids in Giza, where archaeologists are trying to salvage an ancient boat, buried nearly five thousand years ago. Plus we hear about one man's incredible solo journey across the Caucuses.
