Narrated by actor Christopher Lee, "Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs" unravels some of the mysteries enshrouding the ancient royal mummies, how they were embalmed and where they were hidden, and also recreates the dramatic story of their recovery - an Indiana Jones-type tale of tomb-raiders and hidden treasure that led to one of the most significant archaeological finds in modern history. Featuring top researchers, such as Egyptologists Dr. Bob Brier and Dr. Zahi Hawass, the film also embarks on a genetic analysis of mummies that could have huge implications for the study of human diseases.
