1 season5 episodesFULL HDVO — Spanish
November 1922. Howard Carter has spent six winters finding nothing in the Valley of the Kings when a step appears: the first of sixteen, leading down to a sealed door. What came next fits into five episodes of about two minutes: gold by candlelight, a secret entry, a death, a curse invented by the press and a fight over the tomb. A documentary series recreated with AI, with lines in Carter's own words, that ends with a question: what if there is one more door?

4–24 Nov 1922 · Valley of the KingsSEALED1:50Start hereIt is the last winter Howard Carter's patron will pay for, and at last something appears: a staircase cut into the rock, leading down to a blocked doorway bearing the seal of the royal necropolis. Carter covers it all up again, cables England and waits eighteen days for Lord Carnarvon.
25–27 Nov 1922 · Valley of the KingsWONDERFUL THINGS1:52Beyond the first door lie a passage packed with stone and a tunnel dug by robbers 3,300 years ago. Thirty feet in, another sealed door waits: Carter makes a tiny breach and puts a candle through it, and Lord Carnarvon can no longer stand the suspense.
1922–1923 · Valley of the KingsTHE WALL OF GOLD1:44The tomb draws like a magnet: crowds besiege the Valley, Carnarvon sells the exclusive to The Times, and in Cairo, Al-Ahram accuses him of exploiting the remains of Egypt's ancestors. Meanwhile, Carter and his companions are keeping a secret about what lies behind the last wall.
Apr 1923 – Feb 1924 · CairoTHE CURSE1:45The papers left without the exclusive find a better story: a curse. Even Conan Doyle suspects an evil elemental. Meanwhile, Carter goes back to work, opens the last of the gilded shrines and finds a sarcophagus, intact.
Sept 1925 – today · CairoTHE OTHER DOOR1:54Carter is back on one condition, that everything stays in Egypt, and at last he opens the king's coffins: inside the first is another, and inside that one, another still. The curse meets the data, and the season closes on a question that is still open.
