Using digital projection techniques, the planetarium presents its first digital, large-format movie. Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs takes you to the royal tombs of Egypt, where explorers and scientists seek a window into the mysterious world of the pharaohs by piecing together the archeological and genetic clues provided by mummies. Through ambitious computer graphics and dramatic reconstruction, Mummies: Secret of the Pharaohs highlights one of the greatest finds in modern history: the late 19th century discovery of a cache of 40 mummies, including 12 pharaohs, among them the legendary Rameses the Great. Narrated by Christopher Lee.
