It was a tantalizing idea and an outrageous long-shot: could the shriveled mummy with crossed arms that has lain neglected on a dusty museum shelf in Niagara Falls be the remnants of a long-lost Egyptian pharaoh? By the late 20th century, the Niagara Falls mummy had journeyed across an ocean. It had been stolen, sold, bought, and neglected. It had languished in obscurity, then been "discovered" in the 1960s only to be declared a fraud. While a trail of clues hinted at how the looted mummy made its way to North America, it took a team of archaeologists, scientists, and even an orthodontist using the latest genetic testing and imaging to ascertain the body's hidden identity - that of Rameses I, founder of one of Egypt's most illustrious dynasties. DVD features include: printable materials for educators, access to the NOVA web-site, and scene selection. .
