This week Ancient Aliens looks into the legendary curse that is said to have placed on the tomb of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. From a historical perspective the only really remarkable thing about the young pharaoh was that his tomb was discovered unmolested in 1922 by British archeologist Howard Carter. The boy king was around 17 years-old when he died and was the 11th pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Ancient Egypt, around 3,300 years ago. Historians believe he was on the throne for about 10 years, having inherited it from his father Akhenaten and either died in a hunting accident or was...read more...

Ramsay Bolton is dead. Scratch that: Ramsay Bolton is dog food. Fed to his own hounds by his former victim Sansa Stark after his defeat by her half-brother Jon Snow, he suffered a fate as grisly as the ones he'd dished out over his four-season run. During that time, he became Game of Thrones' most divisive character: Viewers and critics alike found him boring in his brutality, as he committed atrocity after atrocity the way normal people ate breakfast. What, many asked, was the point?
But that's just it: The pointlessness is the point.

When Game of Thrones returns to television on April 24th, Game of Unknowns might make for a more accurate title. Now that the show has fully caught up with George R.R. Martin's epic-fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire, both book-readers and newbie viewers are totally in the dark about what's going to happen next. That makes keeping track of the show's sprawling cast and countless subplots more crucial — and more daunting — than ever.

The boy king delivered some almost pyramid-sized results for Spike last night in its big return to scripted television. With 1.7 million tuning in for the first night of Tut, the cable network hit its biggest Sunday night primetime audience since May 25, 2008.

Co-starring Sir Ben Kingsley, the 9 – 10:54 Pm show Sunday of the 3-night Muse…...

The first night of the mini-series was provided for reviewing purposes prior to broadcast.
Normally drenched in the testosterone-fueled basic cable minutate of rescuing bars and mastering ink, Spike this week is launching its own scripted mini-series surrounding the events of Tutankhamun and his short, but brutal, reign as the Pharoah of Egypt. The series, succinctly titled Tut, is awash in the requisite amount of lavishly designed sets you can imagine are required by a show set around 1320 B.C., and it gets decent mileage out of a simple political court backstabbing plot in its first night.
Unfortunately, the show’s creators give you little reason to invest much time into Tut’s barely-a-decade rule, the course of which will spill out over the course of three nights beginning this Sunday. Tut’s rule begins when his father is poisoned by an infidel, and the young boy must begin navigating...
