TV & VIDEO - April 1, 1988

From the folks who brought you “Return to the Titanic . . . ,” the second-highest rated special in syndication history, comes now “Mysteries of the Pyramids . . . Live,” set to air around the country on April 20 (KTLA-TV Channel 5 in Los Angeles). However, the program’s main focus won’t be the pyramids--or Egypt, for that matter. Most of the action will emanate from England. Host Omar Shariff will oversee the televised unveiling of some 300 Egyptian artifacts--all from King Tut’s tomb--discovered earlier this month at Highclere Castle in Hampshire, England. In addition, the program will include some Egyptian footage of underground tunnels connecting the pyramids.
