Synopsis

The cause of King Tutankhamun's death has long remained a mystery. Discovered in a spectacular tomb, the young pharaoh became the most famous figure of ancient Egypt, yet his death at the age of 19 has never been fully explained. In a BBC One special, presenter Dallas Campbell explores new scientific research and conducts unique experiments to uncover the truth. For the first time, a virtual autopsy of Tutankhamun's mummified body reveals new insights, using CT scan data to create the first full-size, scientifically accurate image of the pharaoh. Brand new DNA analysis uncovers a shocking secret about Tut's family background, with genetic clues leading to a radical new theory about his sudden death. The programme presents an epic detective story, uncovering the extraordinary truth behind the boy king and the golden mask.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
