Description:
Journey back to the rich and fantastic world of Ancient Egypt--a world where animals could magically jump out of a hieroglyph and change the meaning of your writing. Where giant pyramids were a gateway to the afterlife. Where a king's ransom could buy an elaborate 70-day process that would guarantee the eternal preservation of your corpse. Episodes: The Great Pyramids, The Sphinx, Hieroglyphics, King Tut.

The film takes a look at the process of mummification first, then the burial situations, the monuments inspired by their views on life and death, and the language of ... Read More
