Rating: - Awesome!
This Video covers it all! From Heiroglyphs to Gods to Mummies, it is richly endowed with a close up look into the lives of the Ancient Egyptians. And with Frank Langella narrating, it comes with a drama not normally associated with a documentary.
Rating: - This one covers it all
I've been collecting videos on ancient egypt for about 10 years and have at least 50 hours of video. After a while they seem to repeat themselves with the same facts, but I really loved this one because it really goes into details others overlook. As far as detail, I would rate it at least as good as Romer's Ancient Lives. It covers every area of Egyptian life from their love of life to their fasination with death.
Rating: - This video is a very inforamative movie
This is a very informative series. I found that people who know little about Egypt will get more out of this movie. I describes the pyramids, the sphinx and it relates them to how the Ancient Egyptians duality between life and death. Well I don't want to spoil it for you, but I highly recommend it especially for a class.
