EnhanceTV :: Educational TV :: History :: The Mummy Who Came In From The Cold

The Mummy Who Came In From The Cold

In July 2005 in Yakoutia, a forgotten province of Eastern Siberia, French anthropologist and forensic scientist Eric Crubezy made a sensational find.

Buried beneath the frozen steppes was an ancient tomb containing the body of a woman, lying in a wooden casket and surrounded by offerings. Her eyes were covered with soil although her hair was pulled back in a neat chignon. She was clothed in a garment of pearls.

Who was she? Why were her sleeves sewn closed at the ends? Princess or shaman?

Set up like a detective film, The Mummy Who Came in from the Cold documents the scientific investigation into this mysterious woman's identity.

Winner of Best Film at Festival Cinarchea, Kiel, Germany in 2008; second at Festival Rovereto, Italy in 2008; Public Award from Festival Kineon, Brussels in 2007 and a Jury Award from Adventure Screens, Dijon in 2007. (From France, in French and Russian, English subtitles) (Documentary) G CC WS
