Tutankhamun's last hundred days before his death and mummification form the spine of this episode, part of a series tracing the boy king's brief reign. Dan Snow, Raksha Dave and John Sergeant work through what daily existence looked like for a nineteen-year-old pharaoh ruling Egypt after the upheavals of his father Akhenaten's reign, using tomb inventories, palace remains, and expert interviews to reconstruct his routines, his health, and the court intrigue swirling around him. Egyptologists weigh the physical evidence from Tutankhamun's mummy, including the injuries and illnesses that have fueled decades of speculation about how he died, against what is actually recorded in the archaeological record. The presenters visit sites in Egypt tied to his final months and question how much of the popular story, assassination plots and curses included, holds up against what the objects and inscriptions actually show. The episode treats the mystery as an open forensic question rather than a settled legend, building toward the moment his body was prepared for the afterlife.
