A dramatised audio guide has also been written for the exhibition by Martin Widmark, author of the popular LasseMaja’s Detective Agency children’s books. Archaeologist Jill and the Egyptian children Merit and Bes guide the visitor through the exhibition on an exciting adventure, beginning in the tomb workmens’ village of Deir el-Medina and ending deep down in the burial chamber. The story centres around the quest to save Merit’s uncle, who has been falsely accused oftomb-robbing. The audio guide brings the objects in the exhibition to life, weaving them together in this fictional adventure. The story is based on historic sources from the village and life in Egypt over 3,000 years ago. Illustration by Ola Skogäng
