The Screaming Mummy: Ancient Murder or Eternal Agony?

In 1881, archaeologists uncovered a royal cache of mummies in Deir el-Bahari. Among the serene pharaohs was one horrifying exception: a mummy frozen in a silent scream, his face twisted in agony, buried without a name or honor. For over a century, "The Screaming Mummy" has been one of Egyptology's most haunting mysteries.

Was he a murdered prince? A cursed traitor? Or simply a victim of a botched burial? This documentary dives into the forensic and historical investigation to uncover the identity of this tormented soul. Using CT scans, toxicology reports, and ancient texts, we follow the trail of evidence that points to a shocking conclusion: this may be the body of Prince Pentawere, forced to commit suicide for his role in the assassination of Pharaoh Ramesses III.

Explore the royal harem conspiracy, the ancient Egyptian justice system, and the modern science solving a 3,000-year-old crime.
