5.0 out of 5 stars A Witty informative 3 video pack of Ancient Egypt, December 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Great Egyptians [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The King of the Pyramids, The Mystery of Tutankhamen, and The Real Cleopatra.
Meet Sneferu, the ambitious pharaoh who taught Egypt how to build the pyramids. Learn about the real Cleopatra, the brilliant queen who gambled everything to become one of history's greatest legends. Incestigate the mystery of Tutankhamen, the young king who may have been the victim of a serial killer. The thing I liked most of theses videos is they tell a story with good graphics,drama, and music to help.

Bob Brier deserves a lot of credit to bring back to life the wonders of a great builder like Pharoh Snefru who set the stage for the worlds great pyramids to be built. Hats off to this genius!
The story of Tutenkhamun and Cleopatra are very well depicted.

It is because of dedicated people like Bob Brier and the Discovery channel team, that we are able to understand the genius that lies behind the making of the Pyramids. Great job team!You deserve an applause....
