Tutankhamun: The Untold Discovery

One hundred years ago, British Egyptologist Howard Carter revealed to the world the most fascinating tomb in the Valley of the Kings: that of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. On the occasion of the centenary of this discovery.

From the discovery of Tutankhamun, the excavations, the pieces of the tomb revealed one by one, the objects, the mummy, to the research that continues in the tomb around the fantasy of the secret room, this film will retrace this unprecedented adventure.

With the help of new footage shot in the Valley of the Kings and around the treasure, ongoing research, 3D images and some archival footage, international experts will recount the intensity of this discovery, and its repercussions today.
