Presented on the IMAX Screen
Uncover the mysterious world of the Pharaohs: their fascinating culture, religion, medicine, and daily life. Ancient wonders and historic intrigue come to life using dramatic re-enactments including the discovery of a cache of forty mummies, amongst them the legendary Ramses the Great and other Egyptian kings. The film demonstrates what scientists can learn from mummy DNA to help in developing medical treatments for modern diseases.
Continue the adventure with the exhibition Tombs of Eternity: The Afterlife in Ancient Egypt. A passage through corridors of the distant past gives insight to life, death and eternity in Ancient Egypt. From sarcophagi to amulets, weapons to mummies, the exhibition features more than 200 remarkable objects found in burial tombs.
This exhibition is organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in collaboration with the Canadian Museum of Civilization.
