DIscovering Egypt,
By Marquita Petersen (Battle Creek, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Video Visits: Discovering Egypt (DVD)
I enjoyed this trip around modern Egypt as well as the ancient Egyptian cities that they recolored. It gives a feeling that your really there. DVD extras -Great Pyramids at Giza this area of the extras show how many men it took to build the great pyramids at Giza. They also show you what the pyramids looked like 4,000 years ago. -Ancient Egyptian Cities, this area of the extras gives you a close look into ancient times of these cities. This will take you through the Nile, the longest river in the world today. The most fascinating thing in this DVD is the fact that they took modern looking cities and covered them with computer imagery to make it as if it were the time of ancient Egypt. It looked more realistic than I would expect from a computer image. I was not expecting to see nudity though it was quite mild and related to artwork and paintings not live persons. The DVD is broken into three portions, the main part and two extras. All added together, it was a 2 hour program.
