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.
:55:09
At last it's time to rehearse
the scene where Tut's advisor,
:55:13
Ay, administers last rites...
:55:15
just as recorded
on the tomb paintings.
:55:17
But Reeves suspects Ay had more
than a ceremonial role
:55:21
in the young pharaon's death.
:55:24
Ay may well have had a hand
in Tutankhamon's downfall,
:55:29
I suspect.
He had the most to gain.
:55:32
It was Ay who took over the
pharaon's throne after Tut's death,
:55:38
but we may never know the truth.
:55:56
With the sacred rites finished,
:55:58
Tut's coffin was carried deep within a
labyrinth designed to foil grave robbers
