Unknown: The Lost Pyramid is a documentary that is not well organized and, unfortunately, ends before its story is complete as the hot season begins and outside labor becomes difficult. The audience is left hanging until the dig begins next year. Unlike the documentary, The Secrets of Saqqara Tomb, this documentary does not tap into the higher interest factor of good documentaries.
