Egypt on the Yorkshire Coast looks at the many links between the UK's largest county and the world’s greatest ancient civilisation - from the numerous Egyptian artefacts in our region's museums to the work of Egyptologists from Yorkshire and the north-east, and the fact that Yorkshire has more pyramids than any other part of the UK, the oldest obelisk in Britain and the only full-sized replica Egyptian temple in the country.
