What is it about mummies? These
preserved human time capsules from ancient Egypt
fascinate and intrigue us, but why? Is it because
they blur the line between the living and the dead?
Or is it because they provide such a powerfully
visual window to our ancient past? Whatever the
reason, there is little doubt that mummies are some
of the world’s most spellbinding subjects.
And Egypt is one of the most fascinating civilizations,
in large part because of the great mummies that
have been discovered there in modern times.
In Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs,
audiences explore the mysterious world of ancient
Egypt through
the fabric of its ancient mummies. The Egyptians’ mummy-making
culture was not the first, the last, or even the
longest. But to many, it was the greatest. The Egyptians
believed their destinies were the wishes of gods,
whose wills their dead ancestors might influence.
By revering their ancestors through mummification,
they hoped to gain better control of their destiny.
