Set against the ochre sands, looming cliffs and baking heat of the Valley of the Kings, Tutankhamun is an ambitious, sweeping saga based on the compelling personal story of Howard Carter, the eminent British archaeologist who found the tomb of boy-king Tutankhamun. Tonight’s episode is set in 1922: Carter finally discovers the tomb, and untold riches within. But Egyptian officials try to seize the treasure, bankrupting the dig.
Watch it tonight at 10pm on WGBX 44.
