5.0 out of 5 stars Great dvd on Modern Egyptian Archaeology!, December 15, 2009

This review is from: National Geographic Video - Into the Great Pyramid (DVD)

If you're interested in what is being done in terms of Modern Egyptian Archaeology, this is the dvd for you! It goes out of its way to be "dramatic," but really, it's just a good story of some of the things modern Egyptian archaelogy is interested in finding out- For example, there seems to be convincing proof that the people who built the pyramids were not slaves, but modern work gangs who were taken care of very well. There seems to be good evidence that these gangs were taken care of when they were hurt plus were fed well. If things like this interest you, then by all means, get this dvd! The stuff on the great pyramid is meant to draw you in, but really, this is more of a dvd to show how the pyramids might have been built and by whom.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Program, April 17, 2007

This review is from: National Geographic Video - Into the Great Pyramid (DVD)

This DVD is up to National Geographic's ususal high production standards except in a couple of instances where the videography is a little sloppy. The program is a good introduction to the Great Pyramid, not only including the pyramid itself but the adjoining worker's cemetery and village. Short segments on earlier pyramids help with the context. The heart of the program is being with scientists at the time they open the sarcophogus in the overseer's tomb and penetrate beyond the door in the small passage from the queen's chamber in the Great Pyramid for the first time. The graphics and reenactments add to the program's understanding. The bonus features are good summaries of their respective topics.

National Geographic Video - Into the Great Pyramid
Very informative and I am looking forward to my upcoming visit next week to Egypt to "follow the trail" of the narrater. Typical of National Geographic productions always informative and puts you there right on the spot to see and feel the way it is.
