A thriling investigation led by Anubis, the God of Death!
A 90' (2 x 45') docudrama proposed by Valérie GIRIÉ and Guillaume HECHT

Ramses the Second is one of the most famous pharaohs ever known. But what do we really know about him ? His life is well documented, but what about his existance aftewards : his ”Great Journey”? An incredible story about a man who was believed to be immortal.

When we know the importance that the Egyptians attached to death and eternity, it is amazing to discover how hectic the ”Great Journey” of Ramses
the Second became.

After his death 3200 years ago, he was constantly removed from his tomb.
It was only after several excavations directed by Rosselini and Champollion, Lepsius, and Carter, in 1872, that it was discovered that his mummy had disappeared. It was rediscovered at the end of the 19th century in Deir el Bahari, far from the place where Ramses died. After a police investigation which began in Cairo and ended at Luxor, two brothers revealed the hiding-place of the treasure they hoped to sell.

Thanks to the very latest scientific methods and to new technology we can now retrace the incredible story of the mummy, giving new insight into Ramses the Second's extraordinarily long reign.

“Ramses the Second, the Great Journey“ invites you to discover the famous tomb in the Kings Valley (KV7), as nobody has ever seen it before, and thanks to computer-generated images produce by Insight Digital (US) and the Louvre (Fr) we can offer a unique view of this original site.
