Summary

Pathe synopsis: Dawn in Egypt. The pyramids and the ancient temples and, west of the river, the tombs where the Pharaohs and their nobles filled their tombs with their treasures for use in life-after-death. We visit the one royal tomb that the ghouls never rifled. The tomb of the boy-king Tutankhamun, found full of jewels, treasures, statues and gold, gold, gold. The fascination of the Pharaohs is brought right into the twentieth century, with glimpses of ancient monuments which are threatened by the new dam that will flood the upper Nile. This is an edition of Pathe Pictorial which captures the drama and the music of a son et lumiere in magic, moving colour.
