Mummifying A Man For The First Time In 3,000 Years

This BAFTA and RTS award winning film follows a team of pioneering scientists attempting to solve the 3000-year-old enigma by mummifying the body of Alan Billis, a taxi-driver from Torquay. Filmed inside one of the UK's leading forensic pathology labs, the scientists want to unlock the preservation techniques used during the "Golden Age" of Tutankhamen. Using a secret and complex blend of ingredients and processes, priests managed to stop decomposition almost entirely.
