Sinopsis
1960s Egyptian documentary showing scenes of local life along the banks of the River Nile, with narration by Salah Jahin
Revolucionaron el Antiguo Egipto hace más de 3.000 años. Nefertiti, “la belleza ha llegado” y su marido, el faraón Akenatón, removieron los fundamentos de la antigua sociedad egipcia y reinventaron toda una civilización. Se deshicieron del antiguo gobierno, la religión y la capital, e incluso sustituyeron a los antiguos dioses. Y, tras la convulsión, desaparecieron junto a toda su familia. ¿Qué sucedió realmente? Hace décadas que el debate sigue abierto. National Geographic se adentra en el Valle de los Reyes mediante las tecnologías más avanzadas y el uso de tomografías computarizadas para proseguir la búsqueda de aquella familia real rodeada de misterio. Una familia especialmente célebre gracias a un niño, con toda posibilidad hijo de Akenatón, que llegaría a gobernar Egipto: el faraón Tutankamón.
