“The Evil One Shall Not Live Again.” In 1907, famed Egyptologist Edward Ayrton discovered a tomb unlike any other in the Valley of the Kings. This tomb, KV55, had been ransacked in antiquity, and the few remaining items were desecrated in shocking ways. The face on the coffin was hacked off, names scratched out, the mummy itself broken and battered. Carved into the wall at the entrance of the tomb was this curse: “The Evil One Shall Not Live Again.”
Who was buried here, and what crimes did they commit to warrant such brutality after death? Famed Egyptologist and documentarian, Ramy Romany (Ancient Aliens, Destination Truth) unravels the mystery of KV55 and the enigmatic figure buried there. A fresh perspective on one of the greatest mysteries of the ancient world, Conspired tells a riveting tale of ancient Egypt at the height of its wealth, power, and glory, and how one person almost single-handedly destroyed an empire.
Ramy Romany is a world-renowned Egyptologist. Born into a documentary-producing family in Cairo, Egypt, Romany had the unique opportunity to hone his skillset from an early age while taking part in multiple active excavations and discoveries in Egypt. This led him to pursue a degree in Ancient Egyptian History and Archaeology from the University of Cairo. Romany can both read and write in Hieroglyphs. Combining his passions of film and Egyptology, Romany was able to film, produce, direct, and be featured in over one hundred documentaries on Ancient Egypt for major international networks. An "Expert on all things Egyptian," as Joanna Lumley calls Romany on national British Television, Romany took Ewan McGregor into the great pyramids of Giza on Long Way Down for National Geographic. He was also the Egyptologist for Ancient Aliens on the History Channel and part of the team that discovered an underground pyramid on the Discovery Channel's Curiosity: Egypt: What Lies Beneath. After many years of filming documentaries on Ancient Egypt, political circumstances led Romany to flee his home in Egypt and relocate to Los Angeles, CA. While Romany still resides in Los Angeles, CA with his wife and their three children, he continues to travel to locations across the globe filming, producing, and being featured in documentaries and TV shows and takes at least one trip back to Egypt every year.
