:53:00
Nothing at all.
:53:00
He was healthy when he died.
:53:02
And x-rays taken of Tut's skull
suggest the possibility of foul play.
:53:07
Certainly x-rays of the head
show damage which might
:53:10
have been caused by a blow.
:53:15
In fact,
Reeves thinks Tut was murdered...
:53:17
and that his killer
attended the funeral.
:53:20
But as the sun creeps up
over the horizon,
:53:23
the immediate concern is
getting the procession underway...
:53:26
and on film.
:53:31
But before they can start,
:53:32
another question-what sound
should the funeral goers make?
:53:36
T aking their cues from
modern Egyptian funerals,
:53:39
they decide on wailing.
:53:42
And production designer
Michael Buchanan demonstrates
:53:44
for the bemused extras.
:53:51
But there's a last
minute hitch.
:53:54
Reeves is bothered by
the golden staffs.
:53:57
There's no time for
scholarly debate.
:53:59
They've got to go.
:54:19
Action!
:54:23
Three thousand years
after his death,
:54:25
golden light and mournful
sounds fill the valley
:54:29
as the coffin of the 17-year-old
boy-king once again makes
:54:33
its way to a final resting place.
:54:36
From an Egyptologists point of view,
:54:38
what's quite striking is the colors...
:54:40
the contrast of the gold
against the backgrounds...
:54:44
and the noise and the
whole atmosphere of the thing.
:54:49
I think it's captured very well.
:54:53
A filmmaker's imagination brings
back a lost moment in time.
