It is sometimes understandable why historical dramas based on long-ago events are tampered with in order to add a love story or whatever. But to present the story of Carter's discovery which fascinated the world in such an inaccurate way is inexcusable. It is pathetic. The producers and writers should be ashamed. There is no evidence of the love affair between Carter and Carnarvon's daughter. Carter was 48 yrs old at time of Tut's discovery not some stud in 20s or thereabouts as depicted in this fantasy plot. Carnarvon and his daughter were not in Egypt at the time. They had to travel from England before Carter was prepared to investigate his discovery further - a situation entirely contrary to the warped plot of this TV series. The point is that the incredible story of Carter's discovery already has the ingredients for a spectacular cinematic portrayal. Shame on those responsible for this butchered presentation of the facts.
