The Tomb Robbery Papyrus: Notes of a Past (2009)

The film - based on true events - presents the story about a century long search for an important ancient Egyptian royal tomb whose location is defined by an ancient manuscript: the so-called Tomb Robbery Papyrus in the possession of the British Museum in London. The young archaeologist, Ann, whose love for the past was early inspired in her childhood starts to analyse the papyrus by coincidence. While discovering that the papyrus was declared as imprecise -due to the unsuccessful search for the tomb in the last 150 years-, she is convinced of the veracity of the document and starts her research and fights for giving a voice to the past.

It's true - it's different!

A real treasure hunt that is right in front of my eyes and taken from life!

I asked myself how can a film contain anything interesting without the typical ingredients that blockbusters have? But astonishingly it works and it is unpredictable - a true story, dramatic dialogs, beautiful locations.

The most intriguing of the film is the fact that the tomb/ treasure in reality is still to be excavated - a complete new form of audience interactivity - I have never seen something like that.

It is a film where I am not told a lie. I mean in films we pay for escaping the present and accept that big lie for the duration of the film but in this movie I am in another world out of time but still in the present where I am told a true story on which I can relay and that is uncommon for a film.

Why should I like films about codes, treasure hunt and other stuff because of action and not be fascinated of a real treasure hunt that is right in front of my eyes and taken from life.
