Mummy's Cursed Legacy (WDR Airtime: 20:15 to 21:45)
Ancient Mummy Discovery in Crime Series Stirs Archaeological Debate
In an unexpected turn of events, Inspector Frank Thiel's father, Herbert Thiel, unearthed an ancient mummy while clearing an old villa. The task was assigned by Judith Schorlemer, the granddaughter of a renowned archaeologist, hinting at a potential connection to one of her grandfather's Middle Eastern expeditions. However, this link remains unverified without concrete evidence.
The Archaeological Institute's head, Prof. Dr. Wilfried Kastner, is excited about the find, as a transliterated inscription on the shrine suggests the mummy might originate from ancient Persia, a revelation that could shake the archaeological world. In contrast, forensic pathologist Prof. Karl-Friedrich Boerne expresses skepticism about this assumption.
Meanwhile, Inspector Thiel is investigating a more contemporary death. Prison officer Mathias Reinhard was discovered deceased in the basement of his apartment, a possible act of retaliation by a former inmate, including suspect Andreas Lechner, who was recently released from prison.
The 90-minute crime series "D" (episode 763) directed by Kaspar Heidelbach features Axel Prahl as Frank Thiel, Jan-Josef Liefers as Prof. Boerne, Friederike Kempter as Nadeshda Krusenstern, ChrisTine Urspruch as Silke Haller, Mechthild Großmann as Wilhelmine Klemm, Claus D. Clausnitzer as Herbert Thiel, Tobias Schenke as Andreas Lechner, Marijam Agischewa as Judith Schorlemer, and Justus von Dohnányi as Prof. Dr. Wilfried Kastner. The FSK rating is 12.
The trailer for the series is available to the public. Yet, searches did not yield any definite information to confirm or deny the mummy's possible link to Judith Schorlemer's grandfather's Middle Eastern expeditions in the available data. Further context or specific details would be required to establish that connection accurately.
Other researchers are actively seeking evidence to verify a potential link between the mummy and 'movies-and-tv' characters related to the granddaughter of a famed archaeologist, such as Judith Schorlemer in the crime series "D". In the midst of this debate, some entertainment enthusiasts have begun speculating about the implications this discovery could have on the overall narrative of the series.
