For the Keizertimes
Documentaries about the
new and unexplored always
bother me because I can never
stop thinking about the silent,
invisible, yet inescapable pres-
ence of the fi lming crew.
I have a tendency to look at
the plausibility of every shot,
questioning what is authentic
and what is illusion for the sake
of storytelling.
If a man is the fi rst person
to descend into a newly discov-
ered tomb for the fi rst time in
a thousand years, for instance,
then how did they get a shot of
him doing it from the inside of
the tomb itself?
When preoccupied with
questions such as these, I usu-
ally forget to focus on the doc-
umentary itself and sometimes
even get a bit annoyed at any
perceived deception.
I did not often have this
issue with Secrets of the Saqqa-
ra Tomb, however, because the
earnestness and genuineness
of the subjects involved and
the masterful work of the crew
fully sell the importance of the
exciting new discoveries and
make you feel like you are in
Egypt with them instead of
merely watching a fi lm about
their efforts.
Any time a discovery like
this is made it is exciting for us
as a species, but the experience
is all the more poignant when
the discovery is made by the
descendants of the people in
question. The tomb of Wahtye
was found, unearthed, and ex-
plored by our subjects, a hand-

review
appreciate Secrets of the Saqqara
Tomb, as most of the relevant
basics such as the mummifi -
cation process and Egyptian
afterlife beliefs get adequately
covered as the need arises (ac-
companied by cute, simple, yet
effi cient animations of hiero-
glyphs come to life).
These discoveries and cul-
tural lessons are spread out
evenly enough that I never got
bored despite the slow pace
that is intrinsic to this type of
fi lm. Another factor that makes
the two hours fl y by is the fact
that the documentary requires
your full and undivided at-
tention for one simple reason:
most of it is, naturally, in Ara-
bic. It is impressive how many
of the people involved speak
English, but when the rest are
speaking (or if it’s not a staged
talking head), prepare to read a
whole lot of subtitles.
Many mysteries remain at
the site, and I’ll be interested to
read up on further discoveries
as they develop. But for now,
my Egyptian archelogy itch is
satisfi ed. And for once I’m not
even wondering where the
cameraman is hiding.
Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb is
now available on Netfl ix.
