December 6, 1981

A lad finds himself magically sent back to ancient Egypt where he and the young King Tut team up to stop their evil and overly ambitious elders.

Es ist die vielleicht faszinierendste Geschichte des Alten Ägypten: das Geheimnis um den berühmten Pharao Tutanchamun. Der letzte Herrscher einer mächtigen Familie, die das ägyptische Reich über viele Jahrhunderte regierte, starb bereits als Teenager. Seit der Entdeckung der Grabstätte 1922 gibt es viele Spekulationen darüber, wie er zu Tode kam. Wurde er umgebracht? Und gibt es eine Erklärung für den legendären Fluch, von dem es heißt, er verfolge jene Menschen, die sein Grab Jahrhunderte später fanden? Zum ersten Mal seit mehr als 80 Jahren wurde die Mumie des Pharaos aus ihrer Grabkammer geholt. Ein internationales Team von Wissenschaftlern hofft, mittels Computertomographie herauszufinden, was vor gut 3000 Jahren wirklich geschah. Eine Rekonstruktion des Gesichts Tutanchamuns auf Basis der gewonnenen Daten soll Auskunft über sein Aussehen zu Lebzeiten geben.

What killed King Tutankhamun? Ever since his spectacular tomb was discovered, the boy king has been the most famous pharaoh of all ancient Egypt. But his mysterious death, at just 19 years old, has never been explained. In this BBC One special, presenter Dallas Campbell reveals new scientific research and carries out unique experiments to get to the truth. For the first time, a virtual autopsy of Tut's mummified body reveals astonishing secrets about the pharaoh. Using CT scan data, the programme creates the first ever full size, scientifically accurate image of the real Tutankhamun. Brand new DNA analysis uncovers a shocking secret about Tut's family background, and the genetic trail of clues leads to a radical and revolutionary new theory to explain Tut's sudden and unexpected death. This is an epic detective story that uncovers the extraordinary truth of the boy behind the golden mask.

Almost 100 years after the discovery of King's Tut's Tomb, it is time to tell the story in a new light. Using 2D and 3D imagery to reconstruct the tomb, the mummy, the funerary objects and the topography of the famous valley of the Kings.
