Journey with The British Museum's Dr John Taylor as he takes us back to ancient Egypt, to explore the rich and varied lifestyles of the ancient Egyptians by examining objects, texts and monuments. By deciphering reliefs, spells and funerary texts such as the Book of the Dead, the secrets of the ancient Egyptian afterlife are slowly pieced together through this fascinating discussion. This feature presentation supports the exhibition Mummy: Secrets of the Tomb and is part of our ongoing series of thought-provoking feature presentations for Our Story Your Story at Queensland Museum & Sciencentre.
