This review is from: Secrets of Egypt's Lost Queen (DVD)

I first saw this video on NGHD (National Geographic HD). I was stunned at the quality and again I get to watch Dr. Hawass in action. I am, stunned by the abisimal 2 star rating by the previous rater. I feel this is an exceptional piece that will give my Grade 6 Social Studies students a unique experience that differs from the tired Egypt materials that I often find. A job well done to the Discovery Channel and National Geographic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating Documentary, January 26, 2009

This review is from: Secrets of Egypt's Lost Queen (DVD)

I thought this documentary was excellent. During this 100 minute DVD a couple of mysteries are slowly solved. Using archaeological explorations, CAT scans, and molecular genetics (DNA testing) a number of experts set out to determine which of 4 mummies is ancient Egypt's Queen Hatshepsut and why her images were defaced and her legacy erased in ancient times. During the program, the historical background related to who this Egyptian ruler was is provided. A very interesting program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the World History classroom, August 18, 2008

This review is from: Secrets of Egypt's Lost Queen (DVD)

I showed this video to my 10th grade World History students and I have never seen high schoolers pay such close attention to a video. They loved it--it provided a lot of information on basic archaeology while educating them about the pharaohs of Egypt.

It drags on a bit, so maybe not perfect for a classroom, but definitely worth the cost.

5 out of 5.
