ITV has commissioned the epic and compelling story of Howard Carter’s discovery of the tomb of one of Ancient Egypt’s forgotten pharaohs, the boy-king Tutankhamun.
Set against the great sweep of ochre sands, looming cliffs and baking heat of Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, the story unfolds from 1905 when Carter, an eminent British archaeologist who we meet in his early 20’s, is fervently leading an expedition. Amidst the chaos scattered across the Valley floor, Carter’s grim determination to find lost antiquities is only too apparent. He has an easy manner with the Egyptian men who work alongside him, but when tempers fray Carter is hotheaded and puts the dig and his career in jeopardy.
With his license to dig revoked by Cairo’s Antiquities Service, Carter spends years ostracised, dishevelled and living rough and resorting to selling previously discovered archaeological relics to buy food.
A chance meeting with British aristocrat, the very dashing, suave and eccentric Lord Carnarvon, brings a change of fortunes as the enthusiastic amateur needs an experienced archaeologist to help him with a series of random excavations. Carter and Carnarvon begin the most unlikely friendship, in spite of their differences of background and character. Privileged and fast living, Carnarvon keeps faith with Carter and continues to back him when no one else will. After years of searching for the tomb, Carter and Carnarvon successfully discover the last resting place of the boy-king in 1921 against all odds and at great personal expense.
唯有时光：第一次看中世纪风格的推理剧 推理稍弱 英语好难懂，即便有字幕还有点跟不上 荏苒：我为了小Lee我也是拼了，二十年前的片子？怕什么！听不懂？怕什么！有脸看就好啦！ kitty62888：漂亮的英伦风景，温馨的小草屋，聪明的修士。感谢图南字幕组让我有机会看到一部好看的旧片 年少如风97604：Ep1：开头略赶客，毕竟交代政治背景与人物并不是那么吸引人。休的人设转变有些太快，但结尾高光好评。
Ep2：渐入佳境，大宅里的恩怨情仇。苏珊娜的演员真的眼里冒火…对男罪犯开放式的结局疑问很有意思。事实证明，德爷贤淑持家的品质是与生俱来的。
Ep3：天…那个将军揭下面罩的时候真的吓到我了，情节安排很紧凑完整，开始的确没想到将军的身份，卡德法尔以前的经历会继续讲下去吗？毫无疑问本季最佳。
Ep4：不大喜欢茱蒂丝的设定，虽然Ep1已经有过伏笔，但看着卡德法尔被副院长处处掣肘还是心里冒火。3＞2＞4＞1，休这次没帮上什么忙，但愿以后别老是让卡德法尔去帮忙洗冤了… Ginkgo：Many years ago - Derek Jacobi is simply wonderful Toni：再次感谢图南字幕组，很有趣的一个系列！ teacat：图南 ruyine：这个真的挺好看的啊。中世纪设定，贵族纠纷、骑士小说、决斗裁决、可怜的吟游诗人等等等……男二的口音很好听～～ 卢森堡的皇后：内战时期，斯蒂芬露脸了，不知道会不会有莫德和亨二。 萧一籽：Cadfael与副院长的恩怨史（雾。第一集的时候本来觉得Hugh是凶手，结果后面成了帮助Cadfael的关键人物，不过说实话这季看下来基本上每集第一次出现的角色人和脸都对不上…… 青梅煮酒：不喜欢现代的爆炸、打斗，无厘头。英式推理剧抽丝剥茧，娓娓道来，感觉更好。 康妈妈：字幕版的，看了6集，剧情什么的很不错呀，可惜找不到字幕版的源了 Van：中世纪幽暗色调下的人性光芒~但是好喜欢那种古朴庄严禁欲的中世纪风啊，当然也喜欢修道院一隅的花园和温室
