Tutankhamun is THE icon of ancient Egypt. The discovery of his mummy with the gold mask made him famous. Yet the child king is not one of the great pharaohs of Egyptian history. But this image needs to be revised. Who is the boy behind the gold mask? What have researchers been able to find out about his life and work? What do the 5,400 grave goods reveal about him? Mirko Drotschmann alias @MrWissen2go meets experts, follows Tutankhamun's life stages in Egypt and gets an exclusive insight into the archaeologists' restoration workshops and laboratories. In the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the presenter is on the trail of the mystery surrounding Tutankhamun's mother. In the temple district of Karnak, he investigates the question of whether the pharaoh was just a puppet of his advisors or whether he did indeed set his own impulses. #tutankhamun #mrwissen2go #terrax This video is a ZDF production in collaboration with Gruppe 5.
