About this episode

Un riche lord anglais, Lord Evandale, découvre avec son ami scientifique Rumphius une tombe non profanée dans la Vallée des Rois. À côté de la momie, dont la morphologie réserve quelques surprises, un manuscrit ancient, qui retranscrit l'histoire de la belle Tahoser, fille du prêtre Pétamounoph, éprise de l'Hébreu Poëri mais poursuivie par les assiduités de Pharaon.

Ce roman plein de couleurs décrit l'Égypte ancienne d'une manière particulièrement poétique, et relate un événement historique lorsqu'un certain Mosché, aussi connu sous le nom de Moïse, décide de faire fuir son peuple de l'Égypte.

A rich Lord from the good society, Lord Evandale, discovers, with his scientist friend Rumphius, an intact tumb in the Kings' Valley. Next to the mummy, the morphology of which is a surprise in itself, lies an ancient manuscript. It tells the story of the beautiful Tahoser, daughter of the priest Pétamounoph, who loves a young Hebrew named Poëri, but is herself ardently wooed by Pharaoh.

This novel, rich and colorful, describes the antic Egypt in a particularly poetic manner, but also tells the tale of a certain Mosché, aka Moses, as he tries to get his people out of Egypt.
