Who was King Tut? Delve into ancient, Egyptian history in this MEGA episode of Tut’s Treasures: Hidden Secrets. Featuring three full episodes: Tales from the Tomb Of all the 5,398 treasures from the tomb of Tutankhamun now being assembled and forensically investigated at the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo, it’s the ones that paint a picture of Tutankhamun’s family that are the most unsettling.
