Kingdom of the Mummies

Interesting find but utterly disrespectful to the Egyptian dead to completely rob their tombs of everything they wanted to be left with. Basically tomb raiding with government approval. Also, listening to Salima Ikram explain the journey into the afterlife is like listening to a child after having heard it explained by the great John Anthony West and Graham Hancock.

The narrator has a very nasally voice, and it's distracting. Narration is so important to a documentary, a distracting voice makes or breaks your messaging. More than that, it was information overkill, to the point of redundancy. I usually love these types of programs, so I was surprised by the visceral reaction I had to the failings of this one. It's like they didn't edit it? I'm not sure if they needed to fill a certain amount of time and perhaps didn't get enough useful footage, but it felt like they were trying to fill time. Given it's three episodes, I expected far more from this documentary.

I like Egyptian archeology but this was heinous. Completely disrespectful to the dead and the glee shown by Dr. Hussein was disgusting. Where does anyone get off opening a tomb and then extracting the mummy, as if we are any better than the tomb robbers they kept mentioning. It's one thing to find artifacts for a museum, it's another entirely to remove human beings for the sake of television. Disappointing.

NG stick to Dr. Albert Lin and his beloved LIDAR, at least he shows reverence and respect for ancient cultures.

This movie one on NatGeo's masterpiece , A great adventure lead by Dr. Ramadan hussien which represents the new generation of smart Egyptian Egyptologists. I felt that I'm one of his team and liked every one of his team Especially Dr. mostafa tolba , Thanks for all team work In excavation project and NatGeo for this wonderful series.

It feels a lot like grave robbing and I'm missing some respect for the mummies in question and their desire for how they wanted to be buried.

On the other hand these are Egyptians learning about their ancient cultures and also providing work for many egyptians.. its a fine line to walk and they are barely balancing it out
