THE MUMMY WHO WOULD BE KING – January 3, 2006
At long last! A year and a half after we finished this film, it finally had its broadcast premiere on NOVA on PBS on Jan. 3. The New York Times published a nice review (“A Leader as Notable in Death as He Was Powerful in Life”) by Ned Martel, who wrote: “The “Nova” treatment never seems as macabre or indiscreet as that mystifyingly popular “Bodies” exhibition of posed human specimens. And the producers know just how to pretty up the arcana. As the narrator reads from ancient Egyptian forecasts of what the afterlife would look like, the pharaoh’s actual travels seem fitting for a great leader, whose adventures in death have been nearly as interesting as his conquests in life.” Check out the WGBH/NOVA website for the show for further details on how the ancient Egyptians prepared a body for mummification. (Yes, they pulled the brain out through the nose.)
