''Chasing Mummies: The Amazing Adventures of Zahi Hawass'' was a reality television series that aired on The History Channel in the United States. Produced by Boutique TV, the series depicted the adventures of archaeologist and Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass and his discoveries in Egypt as he is followed by young archeological fellows and a camera crew. Due to the comedic nature of many of the interactions depicted, it is not hard to speculate that Dr. Hawass, the producer, and cast are filming what turns out to be a running inside joke between themselves.〔(Television Review: 'Chasing Mummies' - The Pharaoh of Egyptian Antiquities ), Neil Genzlinger, ''New York Times'', 13 July 2010 (retrieved 29 July 2010)〕 The series ran Wednesdays on the History Channel from July 14, 2010 until its end on September 15, 2010.
