In 1922, the excavation of Tutankhamun’s tomb sparked a worldwide fascination with ancient Egypt and gave rise to legends of a “mummy’s curse.” Narrated by Iggy Pop, this documentary chronicles the story of the pharaoh’s life and rediscovery, and looks behind the scenes of the landmark touring Tutankhamun exhibition, which displayed more than 150 astounding treasures before their permanent return to Egypt.
