In
2011 a team from the University of Basel made two astonishing
discoveries in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. By chance they came across a
new tomb that was the first to contain a body since the discovery of
Tutankhamun. Then they discovered that the tomb beside it, which had
never been excavated before, held the bodies of around 50 people. But
who were all the people in these two linked tombs? This film follows the
archaeological detective story to uncover the answer. It pursues the
trail that leads to one of Egypt's greatest pharaohs, Amenhotep III -
and to the women he was close to. And the film also reveals the
astonishing project behind the re-emergence nearby of the largest temple
ever built in ancient Egypt - the lost mortuary temple of the same
pharaoh, Amenhotep III.
