Le Mystère des momies coptes d'Antinoé

In the late 1900s, French archaeologist Albert Gayet made an amazing discovery in Antinoopolis in Middle Egypt. He found Coptic mummies, textiles and artefacts which shed an extraordinary light on the early Coptic civilisation. But the mummies were left to slumber in the Louvre's vaults. Now, nearly 100 years later, a study of them is finally underway and is revealing how the first Christians of Egypt lived. (Verleiher-Text)
