For more than a hundred years, the face of the ancient Egyptian mummy has been synonymous with horror, dread, and the ever reliable go-to Halloween costume. This can probably be traced to almost exactly a century ago when Howard Carter, Lord Carnarvon, and the latter’s daughter, Lady Evelyn, crossed the hitherto unbroken seal of King Tutankhamun’s tomb on Nov. 26, 1922.
Until that moment, the boy pharaoh had largely been forgotten by history. Yet as fate would have it, he left behind the only pharaonic tomb ever discovered mostly intact in the modern age. It was the greatest archaeological find of all time and should have been cause for lifelong celebration… but less than six months later Lord Carnarvon was dead. Technically, he died of blood poisoning, but as far as the British press (and soon the whole world) was concerned, the Curse of the Pharaohs got him! As other...

Viewers have seen the aristocratic Crawley family celebrate many a Christmas on the hit historical drama Downtown Abbey; now, fans are getting a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how the show’s real-life castle looks during the holiday season. On Friday’s (December 23) edition of the Today show, NBC News London Correspondent, Kelly Cobiella, was on location at Highclere Castle in Hampshire, England, where Julian Fellowes‘ period drama is filmed. The enormous country house, which was built in 1679 and largely renovated in the 1840s, was all decked out for the Christmas holiday.

This year, the tree, as well as the rest of the house, is decorated in an Ancient Egyptian theme, highlighting Tutankamun and the gold and treasures discovered by Lord Carnarvon’s great-grandfather,...

Jurassic Park's Sam Neill and The White Queen's Max Irons will mine the treasures of ancient Egypt in ITV's Tutankhamun.
Hannibal Rising director Peter Webber doesn't actually focus on King Tut's life, rather setting the drama in the historic discovery of his tomb.
Inspired by a real-life dig, Tutankhamun will chronicle the rise, fall and redemption of archaeologist Howard Carter (Irons).
The disgraced Carter's career is saved when he's hired by an eccentric aristocrat Lord Carnarvon (Neill) to search for the famous tomb in the 1920s.
ITV is set to begin filming on writer Guy Burt's scripts later this year in South Africa.
Meanwhile, the channel also announced today that ex- Doctor Who star Jenna Coleman will front a new drama based on the life of Queen Victoria.

ITV is working on a new event series based around the discovery of Tutankhamun.
The four-part drama - from The Bletchley Circle writer Guy Burt - will tell the compelling true story of how Howard Carter came to discover the tomb of Ancient Egypt's boy-king.
Carter's incredible story will begin in 1905 as he leads an expedition to find lost treasures in Egypt's Valley of the Kings.
However, he finds himself living rough when his license to dig is revoked, and he is forced to sell his previous finds in order to survive.
An unlikely friendship with a British aristocrat named Lord Carnavon brings Carter back to archaeology, and helps him make one of the most significant discoveries of the modern age.
The drama will be executive produced by ITV Studios' Creative Director of Drama, Francis Hopkinson, who has previously worked on Home Fires, Jekyll & Hyde and Wallander.
