Movie Reviews of Building the Great Pyramid
Movie Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was asked to substitute teach in a math class, high school level, and the teacher left this DVD for me to show the class. I was hugely impressed, and the class was riveted. Why math? Because the geometry of the pyramids as related to astronomy was one of the emphases in this film.
The voice-over by (for crying out loud!)Omar Sharif was hugely impressive, and the narrative involving two young Egyptian brothers who take part in the building of the Great Pyramid made the "lesson" more personal and highly memorable.
I ordered it in time for Christmas to give as a gift to a grandson who loves to build complicated structures. Sadly, the first order was simply not fulfilled-- but that was a different seller. After two months I gave up and re-ordered, and this seller was swift. Excellent service.
(I have no idea why this review is tagged as coming from Emily's Buddy. That's not me.)
