    Mummies 3D: Secrets of the Pharaohs

    The Houston Museum of Natural Science Wortham IMAX® Theatre presents Mummies 3D: Secrets of the Pharaohs.

    What is it about mummies? These preserved human time capsules from ancient Egypt fascinate and intrigue us, but why? Is it because they blur the line between the living and the dead? Or is it because they provide such a powerfully visual window to our ancient past?...

    The Houston Museum of Natural Science Wortham IMAX® Theatre presents Mummies 3D: Secrets of the Pharaohs.

    What is it about mummies? These preserved human time capsules from ancient Egypt fascinate and intrigue us, but why? Is it because they blur the line between the living and the dead? Or is it because they provide such a powerfully visual window to our ancient past? Whatever the reason, there is little doubt that mummies are some of the world’s most spellbinding subjects. And Egypt is one of the most fascinating civilizations, in large part because of the great mummies that have been discovered there in modern times.

    Part historic journey and part forensic adventure, Mummies 3D: Secrets of the Pharaohs follows researchers and explorers as they piece together the archaeological and genetic clues of Egyptian mummies. Through ambitious computer graphics and dramatic reconstructions, the film tells the story of one of the greatest finds in modern history: the late 19th century discovery of a cache of forty mummies, including twelve Kings of Egypt, among them the legendary Rameses the Great.

    Mummies 3D: Secrets of the Pharaohs is a walk back thousands of years to the wonders of ancient Egypt, a real-life Indiana Jones adventure complete with thieves and hidden treasure, and a modern day scientific journey to extract clues about our past. The film covers topics of grand proportions, making it ideal for the high-impact experience in IMAX® and other giant-screen theaters.
