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.

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.

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.
