why and how was a mana destroyed and who raced all the references to the god. it's believed that the successors of 2 in particular he said he the 1st and ramsey's the 2nd systematically destroyed all the temples they are less systematically chiseled the way the images of art and. his queen and his children who saw. it before i didn't i cannot and successors stay in a modern. age work. it's thought that the failure of the ark in art and project led to the city's downfall and the move from a modern back to looks or even though. i'm going whoa this happened very shortly after the death of the king of the successor in the city wasted away just how almost all the temples were destroyed so i. presume walking more to the top of.

their view people fit on the city was made of bricks and cruder except that with the wind and the rain all traces of life in the city vanished. but dignitaries of the economic regime still believed in the future of a mana as can be seen in the tubes they made these marked a change in egyptian funerary architecture. and busy. for a long time made germs in the pyramids and now they built them into rush hour these new tombs the world. news of all. these you know we have a change of religion that was reflected in funerary customs in the way kings were into. what. we've gone from the pyramid which is a sun based concept to him. or underground one with notions of the afterlife that
7:40 am

a warrior at least that's what we call it. to create it's a drive alley that can flood and heavy rain. conversing on the belly of the king it's in there is a very isolated valley in the mountains of looks or duke so it's scylla and it's where the kings would order their tombs to be done to feel queasy little. between the nile valley and the desert hidden in a small mountain range lies a labyrinth of rocks and tunnels here more than 60 tombs have been found they once held the bodies of the pharaohs and some of their wives. to see all of these tombs have chill letters k n v followed by a number what does that mean with a healing circle so to get king valley kavi means king valley and the number gives us the order of discovering at least to do that. when we talk about k.v. 62 is the 62nd 2 discovered in the belly of the king's dog where you got what i
7:45 am
don't like. in 1907 egyptologist edward or rather sought out and found to mckay v $55.00 there he found human remains and on jets proven to come from a man are undoubtedly pillaged several times this tomb held as sarcophagus with the name of a king. i cannot and. this discovery was extraordinary the theory that the pharaoh at an art and had been moved from a manner to the valley of the kings was correct but there was still no trace of his wife never t.-t. . another tomb also called the experts attention it's famous as it belongs to i cannot and son to it in cameroon who died very young between the ages of 17 and 19 . this is here at the heart of the valley of the careless entry. coming minutes to
7:46 am
talk at all. thanks to the dog and persistence of howard carter this tumours discovered in 1922 the british archaeologist had a hunch that the young 2 didn't come moon at his own tomb in the valley of the canes. with a walker that was just the said don't worry thing of all to us what. the search for the stone was an adventure in itself going to be there what you know. carter had always wanted to dig in the belly of the chaos saying no. i didn't have a contract but he got one book with the founder sponsor if you heard me you know he had many excavation is over many years that weren't too fruitful so far but he had an intuition. of all of his intuition was that the now famous king. who nobody knew anything about before the discovery of his tomb good had a tumor at the center of the valley because some clues and some tombs that link to the king were discovered. them all thanks to persistency persuasion and of course
7:47 am
excavation in november 1902 or more they stumbled upon a 1st step in the sand and that step led to newton coming to that much the famous cave the 62. i move very swiftly. after years of fruitless searching carter was about to give up when he made a sensational discovery under a heap of rocks if under the door which opened on to one long corridor on. the muslims they say they're here in the heart of $210.00 coming to you we're in the n.t. chamber and here is the room with us a catholic is. the 1st undamaged tomb found in the valley of the kings with many other items said. this tune was originally not intended for a king as it's much smaller that so we imagine to take on living and died quite young around 17 he was buried quite quickly so they. good to know that wasn't at
7:48 am
all royal. for our experts continue their search for another tedious tomb and mommy if she isn't in her husband i cannot and to him nor in a still hidden room in 2000 communes tomb might she be in her own too somewhere else in the valley of the games. in the late 19th century a french egypt on a just discovered a tomb now designated as k.v. 35 that rick knight a debate about methods his plagues say or a 4th arrangement victor all of a who was excavating in the valley of the kings and 89899 discovered successively the tombs of took most of the 3rd and then aman ho-tep the 2nd in k.b. 35 it in aman hotel the 2nd burial chamber for an excess were found at 2 of which were bricked up. by removing this all he discovered a number of mummies because of us that they noticed
7:49 am
a very quickly that they were royal mummies. some of these mummies have been identified on the simoom e notably there was took most of the 4th not in this grandfather of all the other and aman hotel the 3rd i mean that the plot if you are certain some mummies have been identified for example and elder lady with long hair you know the younger lady in the baby 35 who had quite a disk bigger face a c. and a yard that prints. and recently on the it's been suggested that the younger lady is now pretty only 15. british egyptologist joanne fletcher was responsible for their spectacular yet unexpected development in the negativity ministry according to her research a younger lady is never t.t. a series of tests was carried out on there's over 3000 year old calls as the green finally being found. the younger ladies mommy is in bad condition.
7:50 am
with visible damage dating from antiquity the damage from the damage to her chest was like my smashed where to steal an amulet is bound within the body that. some have suggested that the mummy was mutilated on purpose because it was never t.d.'s that they said and if you however we have no proof of that or can quote the younger lady mommy continues to fuel egyptologists imaginations it's now carefully preserved in cairo's egyptian museum. after gathering so much information in egypt and europe for dean and travel to cairo to continue their search of the egyptian museum there they have an
7:51 am
appointment with egyptologist. never t.v. had surely been mummified following a ritual reserved for royals they want to find out more about this tradition. they were in the mummies room at cairo's egyptian museum i don't know if it's fascinating or frightening it makes an impression. well why did it gyptian zoë mummify their king their royal families and the only does it bar in ancient egypt where they didn't say people died the book was so they said their breath. also to allow the breath to come back later so the pharaoh in this case ramsay's could live again their bodies had to be mum and wife of the girl therefore the director could return to the body and he will revive it of course there are a formula there are many things to do before hand magical oils and all of that it
7:52 am
took a very vivid look at come back to life so he needs a body. in our religion we say your soul needs your body they don't you they ascended to heaven with their bodies to join their father ron the creator to develop. so here we have randy is the great according to what is written as these mummies were not found in tools but in a hiding place pretty weird all these mummies and a whole series of others were in hiding places they were hidden or taken out of their tombs if you and the priests of the time established it was ramsay's ramses the great i'm just gong. to discover a mommy's history we need to uncover its secrets one of the most useful tools for this is genetic analysis. at the foot of the italian alps is a large tree transform the world of egypt ology. geneticist albert sink
7:53 am
director of the institute for mummies studies has analyzed numerous mummies in egypt including the famous younger lady. she. wanted the d.n.a. reveal for the family of the young lady we were able to obtain samples we could use a very small biopsy needle to obtain samples from the long bowls especially from this area from the bar but also the same for the leg bones we were able to take a different small ball surface because we also tended not to damage the money too much but we could get good quality bolts. that was from inside of the bags and later in the analysis in the left it turned out that they're still there preserved in the samples. the boy we found out that this monkey is actually the brother of king tut that shot
7:54 am
was a big moment in our research because it took us many months to set up everything to do this out there this is to overcome the problem and that finally we got these very obvious on the identity of a young lady is in no doubt but albert think he's convinced she's the mother of 2000 kamui never t.t. . if professor analysis is correct the mission is complete however antonio wants another scientific opinion so he's heading to the paleo genetically hard tree at the museum impacts. how can genetics help archaeologists egyptologists should look on it in its 6 in a 6 is the study of d.n.a. we're very lucky as d.n.a. is a molecule that in 2 years over the centuries common the problem is it does degrade in the molecule is eternal and i degrades over time the older
7:55 am
a personal sample the harder it is to find d.n.a. and there are environmental factors to. hold both. in the case of egyptian mummies like the younger lady which dates from several 1000 years ago is the d.n.a. still usable then it explored the city it's an extremely harsh climate and not the ideal conditions for d.n.a. preservation so if their day is there it surely cut into minute fragments and hard to analyze. data albert sink says the young lady was analyzed under the best. possible conditions. value of the young lady was placed from the original too and in my view was medical aid that since it to be different many different people one and then bob also prepared to be on the other hand grave robbers who walk in contact with the family or so the scientists and the archaeologist with their
7:56 am
family since it was found so there busy was a lot of contact of people that left there in a traces of their budget and we have to make sure that we don't then allow us to cross to the nation the surface part of that money but the rent in sight the money we took biopsy needle small needles to get a sample from inside of the bones to avoid to having to analyze the surface of the body and in addition we took several some of samples of the mummy from different parts of the body in order to compare that to recite to make sure that in the end we have really the authentic ancient d.n.a. of the young lady and of any modern condemnation. on what we could show is based on the genetic fingerprint thing that young ladies the mother of king tut and siobhan and we could also get a photo of the same effort that if kept on is that part of an hour after weeks of research and thousands of kilometers of travel through egypt and europe claudine and antonio have followed all the known traces and clues about never t.t.
7:57 am
and they might even have found. a younger lady mommy could be. still some egyptologists propose other theorems and continue to look for the remains of an edge and dairy queen. over 3000 years after her death the beautiful egyptian still fascinates specialists and the publican like never t.t.d. is one of the most emblematic figures of ancient egypt. a great and powerful egypt replete with. tetra wonders a concert faroes a new religion and amazing art wax. come.
