"One hundred and fifty years after arriving in North America, a ruler of an ancient kingdom finally received the respect due a visiting monarch, thanks to the scientists and historians hailed on this week's episode of Nova. An Egyptian pharaoh, whose mummified corpse was thought to be lost forever, turned up at Niagara Falls, N.Y., where an attentive network of connoisseurs proved this was no ordinary bag of bones.In an appealing if occasionally grotesque hour, Nova: The Mummy Who Would Be King lets viewers in on how one emaciated figure emerged as a regal relic".
