Lost Treasures of Egypt - Rise of the Mummies

Archaeologists are looking for clues to one of the greatest mysteries of ancient Egypt - the origin of the art of mummification. They examine what may be one of the most ancient mummies ever found by man and enter an intact tomb to find out how the embalmed humans survived the decline of Egyptian civilization. Meanwhile, the unexpected discovery of a tomb full of bodies indicates that ordinary Egyptians also sought to enter the afterlife.
