Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast this

week coming to you live from up the creek in Greenwich London!

My name is Dan Schreiber and I am sitting here with Aniches Innski, Andrew Hunter Murray

and James Harkin and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite

facts from the last seven days and in a particular order, here we go, starting with you Andy.

My fact is that archaeologists have just dug up in the middle of the desert an enormous

thinks statue. It is believed to be anywhere up to 95 years old.

I think you're going to have to explain with me.

So there are now archaeologists looking at old film sets from the early days of Hollywood

and they're doing proper excavations on movie sets that were abandoned to the desert.

This is a real thing and there was a very famous film in the 20s called the Ten Commandments.

It was this massive biblical epic and at the end of it they didn't take the sets down.

There's a theory it would have been too expensive or...

There's another theory that he didn't want anyone else to use the set because the director

was Cecil B. DeMille and he was a bit of a megalomaniac wasn't he and he thought he didn't

want anyone else to use this so I'm going to bury it in the middle of the desert and

now he found it.

And they buried it and yeah there's this filmmaker who's been searching for it for years.

He's called Peter Brosnan and there's now a film about the finding of the original film.

It's called Cecil B. DeMille's Lost City or something very similar to that.

And it was this enormous set so it was 12 stories high, 800 feet wide.

There were 21 Sphinxes.
