L'Histoire nous le dira
The YouTube channel "L'Histoire nous dira" offers short thematic capsules to learn more about ancient civilisations and great historical events with humour. Expand your general knowledge and learn more about many subjects such as ancient Egypt, universal exhibitions or medieval monsters in the Harry Potter saga. A YouTube channel hosted by Laurent Turcot, professor of history at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, Canada.

Since the end of the 19th century, mummies have been invoked in our collective imagination as vengeful beings, destroying everything or almost everything in their path to punish those who would have dared to disturb their tombs or, worse, their millennial resting place. This perception is so much a part of our collective imagination that cinema and literature still perpetuate the image.

In French with English subtitles.
