Jet Pack Synopsis: In this "twin-taled" episode, Adam and Jamie embark on the longest and most ambitious build they've ever undertaken: creating their own personal flying machine from scratch. Are these machines as magnificent as their designers claim? To make the project more realistic, the two limit themselves to a build period of one month and a budget of $10,000. Then, the MythBuilders tackle the myth that preserving the pharaohs involved much more than mummification, that it was the shape of the pyramids themselves — in particular, their cosmically inspired geometry — that kept the bodies of Egyptian kings intact. Is it all a load of rot, or can the build team's homemade pyramids keep fruit fresh and razors sharp, as new-age gurus claim? Myths & Outcomes: Myth #1: Jet Pack Adam and Jamie build their own personal flying machines from scratch. Myth #2: Pyramid-Fresh Were the pyramids themselves the method by which bodies of Egyptian pharaohs were preserved? |
