The last time Tutankhamun visited the UK was back in the seventies when the British Museum held the Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibition. The exhibition boasted the museum’s largest attendance ever for a travelling exhibition with over 1.7 million people visiting the show. Much of that show returns to the UK now and looks set to take the country by storm, introducing millions more to these wonders of the ancient world.

The official exhibition DVD, Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, grants another opportunity to view the treasures. The DVD is hosted by Omar Sharif, who walks you through the entire exhibition, up close and in great detail. Viewers will come face to face with Tutankhamun’s contemporaries, see and hear about the fascinating times in which the young king lived, and learn how his short reign changed history.

This timeless DVD features National Geographic images and film footage about the golden age of the pharaohs as well as information on the latest research into the life and death of Tutankhamun.
