Tutankhamun Featured In TV And Media

Media/TV

"Divine Magic" drew heavily on the resources of The Tutankhamun Exhibition using dramatic interpretations to demonstrate how magic was used in ancient Egypt to protect pharaohs and peasants alike. "Magic of the Mummies" was one episode of the ten part 'Divine Magic' series made for Channel 4 and the Discovery Channnel, USA.

Further credits include a programme made for German television and the Discovery Channel - "Discovering the Tomb of Tutankhamun". "Tutankhamun's Legacy", another BBC production, and "Discovering Tutankhamun" also used the facilities of the Tutankhamun Exhibition. The Exhibition has been highlighted in a documentary for Channel 5 and the Discovery Channel entitled "The True Curse of the Mummy".

The Exhibition has strong links with education and schools and this was recognized with it being featured in two major schools series. The Egyptian unit of Landmarks, the school television series covering History and Geography for 9-12 year olds, made by BBC Education drew heavily on the Exhibition's resources. An episode of the Eureka series on Channel 4 Schools - "Maths through History: The Egyptians" was also largely filmed at The Exhibition.
