We are in the most secret room of tomb kv62 in the Valley of the Kings, the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen, exactly on the day of its discovery, nearly a century ago... Everything is in exactly the same position in which it was found that day, November 28, 1922, by Howard Carter, who was the first to enter, after more than 2000 years, the burial chamber where the ruler of the XVIII dynasty lay, surrounded by his priceless funeral artefacts.
How is this possible? Would you also like to enter tomb kv62? Would you like to wander in amazement among the hundreds of works of art that make up its funeral treasure? Making this dream come true is much easier than you think....
This is the fast-paced, gripping story of an incredibly successful idea: the "physical" reconstruction of the tomb of the Pharaoh and his burial treasure in a show that is travelling the world with incredible success. A scientific, artistic and commercial idea. A great story with great, exclusive footage of a unique communication phenomenon.
We would have access to the workshops where they made the copies of the antiquities, faithful to the original down to the smallest detail, the result of the exceptional skills of craftsmen and women who repeated gestures made thousands of years ago by their ancestors, bringing new secrets to light.
We will investigate the numbers, financial and otherwise, behind a major enterprise like this. We will hear the amazed response of visitors who have just undergone a unique experience, take a look behind the scenes and discover the extraordinary work involved in transporting, setting up and dismantling the exhibition.
