The 12th volume of TV Tokyo's annual end-of-year ancient mystery special "Takeshi's New World Seven Wonders Encyclopedia," hosted by Beat Takeshi, will be broadcast on December 30th at 9pm. This time, the theme is "The Phantom Tomb of Cleopatra, the Last Queen of Ancient Egypt," and they will sneak into the mysterious tunnel that leads to Cleopatra's tomb. Will it be the discovery of the century?
Since 2014, the program has been introducing mysterious civilizations, hidden treasures, and buildings from around the world, with the aim of "introducing new 'Seven Wonders of the World' appropriate for the new century." This year, the 12th edition, Beat Takeshi will once again be the editor-in-chief, along with Egyptian archaeologist and Waseda University Professor Emeritus Yoshimura Sakuji and author Aramata Hiroshi, who will compile an encyclopedia of "world wonders" appropriate for the 21st century.
This time, the team will be the first in the world to infiltrate the Grand Egyptian Museum, one of the world's largest museums, which is nearing completion after 12 years of construction. After many years of negotiations, the team will be the first media in the world to be allowed to put their cameras inside the museum, and will deliver the scoop footage before the museum opens before anyone else.
Naoki Tanaka from the comedy duo Cocorico and model and talent Naomi Trauden, who will be appearing on the show for the first time, will also be making guest appearances.
