With the help of Reed Smoot's epic cinematography, lavish sets and costumes and some nifty computerized images, the film hops back and forth from the elaborate corridors of ancient Egypt to the stainless-steel sterility of the modern-day laboratory.
Actor Christopher Lee narrates. (The prolific actor who appeared in the Lord of the Rings trilogy played Kharis the mummy in the 1959 film The Mummy.)
We learn about historic mummy moments such as the late-18th-century discovery of the Rosetta stone that led to the cracking of the code of Egyptian
hieroglyphics, and we watch a re-enactment of the late-19th-century discovery of a tomb containing 40 mummies, including 12 Egyptian kings.
We also learn about the creation of a modern-day mummy, the first mummification in 2,000 years.
See the above pave for the full story.
