In November 1922, after decades of fruitless searching, Howard Carter made the archaeologial find of the century. Sixteen steps down into a forgotten world lay the remains of a boy-king wrapped in linen, masked by a golden effigy, and unseen for over 3,000 years. From antechamber to burial chamber and beyond, KING TUTANHKHAMUN: THE MYSTERY UNSEALED goes beyond Tut’s tomb filled with artifacts to investigate the drama and mystery surrounding his life and death. Hosted by award-winning actor Frank Langella (Good Night, and Good Luck), KING TUTANKHAMUN: THE MYSTERY UNSEALED features commentary from leading Egyptian scholars and computer technology that uncovers, explains, and illuminates this remarkable historical milestone. DVD Features: "The Curse of King Tut" Episode from the Aclaimed INVESTIGATING HISTORY Series; "Howard Carter: Triumph & Treasure" Episode from the Award-Winning A&E BIOGRAPHY Series; Interactive Menus; Scene Selection
