Heads in the Sand

In this last film in the series, Christopher Frayling looks at what can be done to save Egypt's past for succeeding generations. Tutankhamun's tomb now has mould spreading over the 3,000-year-old paintings and the plastered walls are crumbling away. The temples along the Nile valley are being eroded by pollution, as is the museum in Cairo which houses the world's greatest collection of Egyptian antiquities.
