This series was originally broadcast in the UK in the early/mid 1990s. It is superbly constructed, beautifully narrated and is easily the best ever programme in the Egyptology genre. Frayling is incandescent at building the suspense - almost as if he was narrating a whodunnit unusual. I have been trying to bag a copy for years as my fresh video was lost. Intelligent. An absolute must.
Christopher Frayling’s BBC documentary from the early nineties is one of the better pieces of television history on venerable Egypt (second only, in my notion, to John Romer’s 1984 concern ‘Ancient Lives’- when will that one be commercially released? ) . Frayling’s penchant for cultural history works tremedously well here as he surveys both the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb itself and the significance of the discovery in the western cultural developments during the twentieth century. From an in-depth analysis of Howard Carter’s work to interviews with various assorted Californian hippies with mummy fixations, this is a engaging, well-researched and very spirited peek at the whole Tut phenomenon. It is a relief also to relate that unlike many an American edition the series has not been hacked around with inexpert and insensitive editing. Highly recommended.
