Le Harem du Pharaon-Soleil

The documentary presents a detailed account of discoveries made by a team from the University of Basel in January 2011. They uncovered a previously unknown tomb, numbered KV64, which contained two mummies from the time of Amenhotep III and a later burial for a noblewoman.

Additionally, the film explores the excavation of the burial site KV40, revealing dozens of mummies. These findings challenge the conventional understanding of tombs in the Valley of the Kings, where single-pharaoh burials are the norm. Initially thought to number around 30, further analysis suggested that the total could exceed 90 mummies. The documentary poses intriguing questions about the identities of these women and their roles in ancient Egyptian society.
