Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs brings to life ancient wonders, historic intrigue and a modern-day forensic adventure, all in one eye-popping new film that opens at the Museum of Science and Industry’s domed, five-story screen through February 2008. . . .
Filmed by award-winning director Keith Melton (Mystic India, Cirque du Soleil) and renowned cinematographer Reed Smoot (Mysteries of Egypt, Mystic India, Shackleton’s Antarctic Adventure), with a screenplay by Arabella Cecil (Kilimanjaro: to the Roof of Africa), Mummies features breathtaking scenes of natural beauty and stunning locations combined with incredible CGI sequences, lavish sets and period recreations that immerse viewers in different eras of Egyptian history.

IMAX cameras capture sweeping images of the swirling desert sand dunes and dramatic rocky cliffs of the Northern Sahara and the real wonders of Egypt at key historic sites with treasures honoring Egypt’s most prolific pharaohs. Mummies takes viewers on a journey back thousands of years, to the age of the great pharaohs, to explore why mummification was so vital to ancient Egyptian life.
