Episode overview
In this episode, we journey back to a distant past to discover one of the most fascinating civilizations of the past: Egypt. And we'll do so without leaving Italy. Indeed, here in Italy lies one of the richest places on the planet in artifacts and information about this ancient civilization: the Egyptian Museum of Turin. The Egyptian Museum of Turin is, after the one in Cairo, the most important museum in the world dedicated to this civilization, and more: it was the first Egyptian museum in history. Here, scholars were able to examine a complete collection for the first time. Consequently, this is truly where Egyptology was born. Indeed, exploring the rooms takes you through the entire history of ancient Egypt. This evening, we'll show you the most beautiful treasures of Egyptian art, certainly, but of all humanity in general. The most striking aspect of Egyptian civilization is the preservation of bodies and mummies.
