This documentary follows the journey of Kha, a builder of pharaonic tombs, as he travels to the Underworld. The narrative explores Egyptian religion, mythology, and funerary customs, linking these themes to the history of the Museo Egizio in Turin. Established in 1824, the museum is the oldest of its kind globally and houses Kha's tomb along with an extensive collection of grave goods from Egypt. The film also highlights the museum's vast holdings, which include statues, sphinxes, and amulets spanning nearly 4,000 years of history.
