Ulisse - The Pleasure of Discovery

Season 4 Episode 5: Mummies: a Challenge to Immortality

Why do people get mummified? In general, behind all mummies there is a long history. It is man's challenge at the time, the attempt to preserve the body at all costs, even after death. A challenge that has no age and that starts from very distant times. We will take a journey into this challenge. We will talk about mummies, of course, about civilizations from different eras, but not only that: we will try to discover everything that man has implemented over the millennia to save his image, even today. In short, we will take a journey in what can be called the search for immortality.
