The Babolovo Tsar Bath is the most mysterious and monumental artifact of Saint Petersburg. This enormous granite basin, weighing 50 metric tons, was created by master stonecutter Samson Sukhanov in the early nineteenth century and survived war, destruction, and neglect. It is not merely a “bath,” but a challenge to time and an engineering feat comparable to ancient Egyptian megaliths. Why was it built. How was a 160-metric-ton block transported. Why was an entire palace constructed around it. In this film we reveal the technical solutions, the cultural context of Egyptomania, the myths and legends, and the traces of real use. Today the Tsar Bath is waiting for its hour in the ruins of the Babolovo Palace.
