DISCOVERIES ANNOUNCED, IN SAQQARA NECROPOLIS

On Monday, Khaled Al-Anani, Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, inspected the

excavations of the Egyptian archaeological mission working next to the pyramid of

King Titi I in the Saqqara Necropolis.

The archaeological mission, led by Zahi Hawass, has discovered burial shafts with coffins and several artefacts from the New Kingdom. Hawass confirmed that this discovery, which will be announced early next year, will shed light on a mysterious part of the history of Saqqara, of which we know little. It will also unveil the secrets of the necropolis of the 18 and 19 Dynasties.

In the wake of this major discovery, Label News is producing a mini-series “TOMBS OF EGYPT: THE ULTIMATE MISSION” which follows Zahi Hawass on his mission to the heart of the necropolis of Saqqara. With exclusive access to this mission, using CGI, 2D computer graphics, 2D and 3D maps, plans, animations, X-ray analyses, along with live footage and interviews of international experts bothin the laboratory and on the field, the series will show how the team was able toopen each sarcophagus to investigate the mysteries of the necropolis andunderstand who was buried here.

Living and capturing such a mission is absolutely unique, especially because we have both exclusive access and scientists on site to analyze the elements, says François Pomès, producer. Beyond the spectacular excavations, we are investigating to go back in time and tell the stories of the Egyptians buried here more than 2500 years ago.

We’re thrilled to bring this program to the international market, adds Chloé PersynPreljocaj, Head of Distribution at ZED. In the current context, the audience wants to be entertained and we’ve noticed a strong demand for adventure and exploration programs.

Produced for RMC Découverte, directed by François Pomès and Anne-Fleur Delaistre, this 2×70’ & 2×52′ will be delivered in September 2021.
