Co-hosts Yasmin El Shazly and Mahmoud Rashad examine the famous King List in Seti I's temple, in Abydos, where Tutankhamun's name has been omitted alongside his father Akhenaten and his presumed mother, Nefertiti. The extensive list holding the names of the pharaohs of Egypt shows that Tutankhamun's name was deliberately omitted and there are no signs of him being one of Ancient Egypt's pharaohs.
