Carter’s finally made it inside Tut's tomb and is now surrounded by more riches than he could possibly dream of. Golden statues, opulent jewlery, entire chariots. There’s even the pharaoh’s underwear! So, why is he so obsessed with flowers?

Dr. Salima Ikram, distinguished professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo, joins returning guests Tom Hardwick and Kat Havens to dish the dirt on all the treasures inside Tut’s tomb as well as the complicated condition of the Boy King’s mummy. Plus, Exhibits-Projects Director Dustin Newcomb takes us inside HMNS’ recreation of the pharaoh’s crypt.
