It sounds like an Indiana Jones movie, but in fact this is the title of an article recommended by Jane Akshar (Luxor News Blog) who has seen it and in fact appears on it!

It is showing on Al Jazeera at the moment, in their English language slot. It is good to see the subject being taken up and publicized in this way.
