This evocative experience focusing on the pharaoh’s death begins with the mummification process and culminates in burial following a solemn procession toward his final resting place.
Inside the tomb, the complex “Opening of the Mouth” ritual is performed, allowing the deceased pharaoh to regain his senses in the afterlife.
The experience concludes with Tutankhamun’s symbolic rebirth at the moment when Howard Carter discovers his almost intact tomb.
DISCOVER THE FUNERARY RITUALS OF ANCIENT EGYPT
The pharaoh’s body is prepared according to millennia-old rituals through the laborious process of mummification, then transported across the desert to the tomb in a majestic procession.
Before placing the mummy inside the sarcophagus, his successor Ay performs a highly elaborate ritual, reciting arcane formulas intended to symbolically restore Tutankhamun’s sensory integrity.
Tutankhamun’s journey concludes, after more than three millennia of rest, with the rebirth of his name, which achieved worldwide fame following the 1922 discovery of his treasure-filled tomb.
