Nefertiti Resurrected

One of the greatest riddles of Egyptian history — solved by science.

Three thousand years ago, a mummy was hidden in a secret chamber in the Valley of the Kings — its identity stripped, its face deliberately destroyed, its existence erased from history. It lay there, forgotten, until British Egyptologist Dr Joann Fletcher resolved to find out who it was.

Emmy-nominated on its release, Nefertiti: Resurrected follows a landmark scientific expedition into the Valley of the Kings — the first of its kind in a quarter of a century. Sanctioned by Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities and backed by the Discovery Channel, the film deploys cutting-edge digital X-ray technology, purpose-adapted for the conditions of the tomb, alongside the world’s leading mummy scientists and the latest computer facial reconstruction techniques.

The result is a film of rare ambition — combining forensic science, dramatic reconstruction, and immersive computer graphics to resurrect not just a mummy, but an entire lost world. A benchmark in the documentary of scientific discovery.
