Premiere of the documentary film "Maurice and the Pharaoh" at the GUST Kuwait

This video celebrates the successful premiere of the documentary film 'Maurice and the Pharaoh' held on the November 8th 2010 at Kuwait's Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST) under the sponsorship of TIES Center. The event was held under the patronage of H.E. Mr. Jasin Rosavde, the ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Kuwait and was attended by a large number of diplomats, teachers, lawyers and students.
'Maurice and the Pharaoh' recounts the story of the identification of the mummy of the Pharaoh of the Exodus. The mummies of Pharaohs Ramses II and Mernpetah were examined in Paris for about 7 months. Dr. Bucaille reminisced about the arrival of the Ramses mummy to Paris in his book 'Egyptian Mummies; Modern Medical Investigations' (1987). He says: 'From the airport, the mummy had been transferred to the Museum of Anthropology for "hospitalization" and examination. On June 29, 1977, Paris Match reported that the truck containing the packing case and its occupant was ordered to pass by one of his two Luxor obelisks at the Place de la Concorde "so that the ancient monarch's soul could contemplate his glory inscribed on the stone in dithyrambic terms."

For Dr. Maurice Bucaille that was a crowning moment. A yield of two grueling years, aided by presidents Sadat and DEstaing, to launch Operation Ramses has finally materialized.

The outcome of Bucaille's team work on the Egyptian mummies was made public in lectures at the Egyptian Antiquities Department at the Louvre, the Museum of Human Paleontology and at the French Academy of Medicine. In appreciation of his scientific findings the Academie Francaise had awarded Bucailles book Mummies of the Pharaohs; Modern Medical Investigations its 1988 History Prize. The Academie Nationale de Medicine had held Bucaille in high esteem for the bulk of his scientific contributions in 1991. Bucailles final scientific contribution was published in his book; 'Moses and the Pharaoh: Hebrews in Egypt' in 1995.
It seemed that a scientific answer to the ancient question has finally come into existence.
In its second edition, held in January 10, 2011 the Sheikh Fahad Al -Ahmad International Award for Charity, governed by a panel of international jury has awarded the Farouq Abdul-Aziz latest documentaries; 'Maurice and the Pharaoh' and 'From Microcosm to Macrocosm' its top prize for 'the Most Creative Charitable Work' category of 2011.
