Tutankhamun with Dan Snow

Episode 1 (1x1)

Air date: Nov 26, 2019

The historian explores the story of the Egyptian pharaoh's life and death, and the discovery of his tomb, assisted by journalist John Sergeant and archaeologist Raksha Dave. In the first episode, Dan visits the Egyptian Museum in Cairo to examine the mummies of the boy king's parents - who were brother and sister, an incestuous relationship that may have had a serious impact on their son's health. Raksha visits a new excavation in the Valley of the Kings, while John gets a taste of a pharaoh's diet.
