Unwrap the mystery of these human time capsules, shown in a fascinating new giant screen film.

Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs brings to life ancient wonders, historic intrigue and a modern-day forensic adventure, all in one eye-popping new film.

The film 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.

These relics of the past create a window into the fascinating and mysterious world of the pharaohs. In addition to increasing our understanding of the culture, religion, medicine, and daily life thousands of years ago, scientists today are reconstructing mummy DNA and deciphering ancient texts to gain insight into modern human genetics and advance medical treatments.

To unwrap the secrets of the pharaohs is to perhaps glimpse the future of our own civilization.

Filmed by award-winning director Keith Melton (Mystic India, Cirque du Soleil) and renowned cinematographer Reed Smoot (Mysteries of Egypt, Mystic India, Shackleton’s Antarctic Adventure), with a screenplay by Arabella Cecil (Kilimanjaro: to the Roof of Africa) and narrated by Christopher Lee, who has appeared in more than 200 films, including the title star of 1959's The Mummy.

A Giant Screen Films and Gravity Pictures Production. In association with The Franklin Institute and Museum of Science, Boston. Key support provided by the US Institutional Theater Alliance.
