I went to Egypt. Never in my life did I think the dream I had as a child of seeing the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Nile and the royal mummies would come true.
As a child, Tutenstein was one of my favourite cartoons. It was about the re-animated mummy of Tutankhensetamun (based on the real Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun), who is woken up 3 000 years after his untimely death. He must confront the truth that his empire has vanished.
It starred a 12-year-old black girl (Cleo Carter) who got into mischief with the “undead boy-king” and they had to work together to rescue the day.
Tutenstein got me into the previously terrifying and unnerving world of mummies. It made the dead palatable, to my impressionable mind.
So, when a chance
