Madman is proud to announce the DVD release of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC: KING TUT’S CURSE. Discover the secrets behind the famed boy-king: plus, learn all about the logistics behind King Tut’s record-breaking exhibition world tour – now making its way to Australia! KING TUT’S CURSE will be available on DVD 16 March, 2011 ($24.95 RRP).

This March, the team of scientists behind KING TUT’S CURSE will use state of the art technology and unprecedented levels of research to unravel the mysteries behind one of the most intriguing stories ever to emerge from ancient Egypt – the life and death of Tutankhamun. This very special DVD also takes viewers to come on tour with Tutankhamun and meet the boy-king face to face with the bonus feature INSIDE: TUT’S TREASURE TOUR. Witness the day to day drama that nobody sees and the monumental logistics problems that the team must face in order to move the treasures between cities. There’s a team of conservation experts, an object handler who doesn’t breathe and a man who will do anything to open the show on time.

For the first time in Australia’s history, King Tut and his treasures will visit Melbourne, in their only Australian stop, before they are returned to Cairo. The ‘Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs’ exhibition opens April 2011 at the Melbourne Museum.
