Tutankhamun: The Last Exhibition

The documentary 'Tutankhamun. The Last Journey' follows the story of the discovery of the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh on November 4, 1922, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary. It was the British archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter who first gained access to the burial chamber of Tutankhamun, who in his lifetime was called Tutanjaton, the last monarch of his royal family in the 18th dynasty of Ancient Egypt. The room was virtually intact and the discovery was soon immortalized in the exhibition that emerged in Los Angeles but ended up going around the world. It is the largest international exhibition ever dedicated to Tutankhamun, for which they had to move 150 objects from the pharaoh's treasures. Later the rumor of the well-known legend of Tutankhamun's curse would arise, due to the deaths of several people who had had close contact with the pharaoh's tomb, among them the patron who financed the excavation, Lord Carnarvon, and his brother, Aubrey Herbert, who had been present at the discovery.

The documentary is narrated by the Italian Manuel Agnelli in its original version, while the musical icon Iggy Pop voices the English version. It is an Italian production directed by Ernesto Pagano and produced by Laboratoriorosso and Nexo Digital.
