Movie Reviews of Egypt: Rediscovering a Lost World
Movie Review: Highest Rating, Exciting, Fact Based Thrilling Adventures
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking around for a DVD about Ancient Egypt I would recommend this one over all others. I have not seen all the DVDs covering Ancient Egypt but I have seen several and this one is at an entirely higher level. This DVD covers the stories of three of the most exciting life adventures really of all time; Howard Carter, discoverer of Tutankhamun's tomb, Giovanni Belzoni, discoverer of the hidden entrance to Ramesses temple at Abu Simbel and Pharaoh Seti I's tomb and Jean-Francois Champollion who solved the Ancient Egyptian language of the hieroglyphs that had been lost for almost two thousand years. These are extraordinary adventures, life consuming and life changing - and history changing as well as Champollion learned to read the hieroglyphs. This is the best DVD I have seen covering ancient Egypt, the best telling of Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankamun's tomb and the only stories I have seen telling the extraordinary discoveries of Giovanni Belzoni and Jean-Francois Champollion who is considered the founding father of Egyptology. During the telling of Giovanni Belzoni's story there is also a lot of flash back to the time of Ramesses as many of Belzoni's discoveries related to Ramesses. This is an extraordinary DVD with over six hours of fact based adventures and really value priced for what you get. Special feature included on the Nile River with total run time listed at 360 minutes. Highest rating.
