Egyptologists have discovered up to 17 pyramids and more than 3000 other buildings buried under sand using ultra-red satellite cameras.

The cameras are able to detect the heavy-brick structures from hundreds of kilometres away from the surface of the earth, BBC documentary 'Egypt's Lost Cities' reported.

The densely packed ancient city of Tanis, north of Cairo, has been exposed by the satellites, as well as pyramids dating back about 4500 years.
