:49:01
I've done things like this before
:49:02
but not as dangerous.
:49:06
Finally, both camera and
column are ready to roll.

:49:10
Three, two, one, go!
:49:31
The shot comes off without a hitch
:49:34
and the crew now turns to
their biggest challenge

:49:38
recreating the funeral procession
:49:40
of Egypt's most famous pharaon.
:49:50
Carter, please,
can you see anything?

:49:55
Yes, wonderful things.
:50:02
Wonderful things.
:50:04
In 1922,
:50:05
an obscure English archaeologist
named Howard Carter

:50:09
unearthed the remains of an
:50:10
even more obscure pharaon
:50:12
named Tutankhamon.
:50:17
Carter had discovered
:50:18
what all others had
:50:19
despaired of ever finding
:50:21
a virtually unlooted
pharaon's tomb.

:50:25
And the treasures of King Tut
have never relinquished

:50:28
their grip
on the world's imagination.

:50:35
Now director Bruce Neibaur's crew
wants to bury King Tut all over again.

:50:44
High above a desert valley,
:50:46
the crew prepares to capture
the boy king's funeral procession.

:50:51
In Tut's time,
:50:53
the pharaons no longer built pyramids for
their tombs-instead they hid their treasure

:50:57
filled burial sites in the
remote valley of the kings.
