Forbidden History: new season?

Is Forbidden History (https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/4112/forbidden-history) starting a new season? The last episode aired on June 14, 2020. The Science Channel schedule for Tuesday, March 16, 2021, airs a new episode at 22:00 called "Ancient Mystery of Giza." Its episode summary is: "The ancient pyramids of Egypt are perhaps the greatest objects ever built, and the Great Pyramid of Giza stands above them all; experts investigate to determine the date of its much-debated construction, and it may be much earlier than originally thought."

Here's the schedule link: https://www.sciencechannel.com/schedule. The schedule does not refer to a new season.

Is this episode 1 of a new season? I can't find a press release or a reference from Discovery/Science Channel stating that a new season starts. The Science Channel frequently retitles old episodes labeling them as "New." But I find no previously aired episode about the Great Pyramid of Giza. Fortunately, episodes in this TV series stick to one subject and do not have four or five segments.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Yesterday Channel's summary of 6x06:
The Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt is a wonder of the World. But when was it built, for what purpose and by who?

So I suppose it's just Discovery being Discovery.

Hey, tnt. Your conclusion is correct about Discovery being Discovery. "Ancient Mystery of Giza" is simply a retitled rerun of S06E06 "The Pyramid Code," as TVDB and TVmaze list this episode. I commented in the episode as such. Your referral to Yesterday Channel was helpful.

I love authoritative summaries especially in documentaries when they don't just describe one small piece of the episode. Great Pyramid of Giza is just one of many covered worldwide in the episode. Thanks again.
