Just viewed “The Ultimate Tut” again and always find it so informative and enjoyable. I am so glad I recorded it when it appeared on public television several years ago. Thank you for all the thorough work you do and have done to shed new light on areas of profound interest to so many of us novices. When I do view this documentary, I invariably insert “The Mummy,” Universal Studios’ 1932 entry to the horror genre. For me, it sets the tone and propels me to do more delving into the known stories in the Valley of the Kings. How fortunate you are to live such a fascinating life involved in shedding light on so many heretofore unsolved mysteries. Thank you, Chris. You are, indeed, a beacon of light to the past.
Dead chris,
Just watch one of your programs and i have to tell u I was very impressed! You are very smart and really know your history. Will keep watching and hope u have a lot of new shows! I do have one question—have they ever found queen Cleopatra pyramid? I know they haven’t found her body. Thanks for the info.
Hi Mark, Glad you enjoyed the film and yes, there are more on the way, including one about Cleopatra in fact – watch this space! It’s quite unlikely that Cleopatra’s tomb incorporated any pyramid elements but in fact we have very little information about the form of her tomb. You’ll find more info in the 7th chapter of my book, Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0500051992/ref=pe_2652581_267141361_em_1p_0_ti
