:55:00
but people are dying, real people,
made of flesh and blood.
:55:04
The book...
:55:07
lt's beautiful, the kingdom of the dead.
:55:09
l had a dream last night.
My grandmother held me in her arms.
:55:12
She was pretty, and young...
like when she came to get me.
:55:17
- Ever heard about Belphegor?
- What? Sounds nice.
:55:20
Look Lisa, promise me you
won't go back to the Louvre.
:55:22
You must think l'm crazy.
You say this, and l'm the one who's crazy.
:55:25
Let me go to work.
:55:27
Sure go ahead.
:55:28
Have a great day.
:55:42
Of the two obelisks, one is in Paris
at the Place de la Concorde.
:55:47
the other stayed at the site in Luxor,
:55:49
not far from the Valley of the Kings
where the inhumation of our mummy took place.
:55:52
Someone tried to wipe out his name.
:55:55
Pierre Desfontaines was led
to the discovery of the tomb
:55:57
by a ring stamped with a dynastic seal, found nearby.
:56:00
ln Deir el Medina he unearthed plans indicating
the royal tomb's exact location.
:56:05
- The tomb was then discovered, a few months...
- Uh excuse me please.
:56:09
l think l discovered a hieroglyph.
:56:12
Lovely. Class we have a new Champollion.
:56:15
You may not know it, but l published a dictionary which
contains all known hieroglyphs.
:56:21
- Right l know but you must have missed mine.
- Very well.
:56:23
l invite you to the blackboard.
Show us your discovery.
:56:27
Use the projector if you like.
:56:36
That's a boat?
:56:38
Well, l don't know what it is but...
you gotta have balls to do that.
:56:40
You're absolutely right, you know.
:56:42
That hieroglyph is unknown
to my knowledge.
:56:44
But Egyptian writing never
stopped changing
:56:46
The scribes as they wrote
would invent lots of new signs.
:56:49
Now this one combines
:56:51
a few different symbols bark,
river, return, netherworld.
:56:55
Any one have any ideas?
Go ahead.
:56:57
Well, maybe it's a spirit that's
crossing the river toward
the kingdom of the dead.
