- Description
- Six-part dramatised documentary about the discovery of Ancient Egypt. Howard Carter was an irascible Englishman who travelled to Egypt to work as a painter but soon became an archaeologist, being fascinated by Ancient Egypt and determined to make an important discovery. When evidence for Tutankhamun's tomb came to light, he became obsessed with finding it and after years of searching with his patron, Lord Carnarvon, eventually gazed at a sight not seen for thousands of years. Interwoven with Carter's adventure is the mysterious story of the boy king Tutankhamun who, aged eight, became king and married his sister.
