Channel 4 - Mummifying Alan: Egypt's Last Secret (2011)



Information
Mummifying Alan: Egypt's Last Secret
It is a mystery that has baffled scientists for centuries: how were the Ancient Egyptians able to
perfectly preserve their pharaohs for millennia? Now Channel 4 follows a team of pioneering
scientists attempting to solve this 3000-year-old enigma by mummifying a body donated specifically
for the purpose. Filmed inside one of the UK's leading forensic pathology labs, the scientists want
to unlock the preservation techniques used during the 'Golden Age' of Tutankhamen. The 18th Dynasty
was a time of huge cultural and political revolution, but it also marked the pinnacle of Egyptian
embalming techniques. Using a secret and complex blend of ingredients and processes, priests managed
to stop decomposition almost entirely. But what were the mysterious and complex recipes they were
using? Did they really understand the science behind them? And, if so, could this represent the
greatest scientific achievement of Ancient Egypt?
