Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: An exciting documentary that focuses on several aspects of the forgotten practice of mummifying the dead in preparation for the afterlife.
Fresh: I felt a great sense of wonder to learn about this extraordinary, glamorous civilisation that believed fervently in the after life and that has left us with a tangible treasure trove as a reminder of its life and times.
