I thought because it was a National Geographic documentary it would be interesting but I was given a hypothesis narrated as a story with not a lot of supporting evidence and some really bad graphics. Very disappointing.

This is an excellent pictorial account of the "Book of Gates", one of the ancient Egyptian books that offered a "map" into the afterlife. I cannot speak for the expert, but the DVD offers a clear understanding for the beginner. However, forms such as the "Pyramid Texts" the "Book of the Dead", the "Book of Breathings", & the "Coffin Texts" are not dealt with in the movie. Perhaps The title of the DVD should have been restricted to something clearer, like "Secrets of the Book of Gates". I give it 4 stars because the title, and hence the presentation, is somewhat misleading. The "Book of Gates" fits within the evolution of resurrection texts, but does not, by any means, exhaust them.

You'll get a bit of what you're expecting out of this documentary, and a little of what you're not - but in mostly a good way. One pleasant surprise was the inclusion of a related active excavation by Dr. Zahi Hawass (Egypt's Minister of State for Antiquities Affairs - see Chasing Mummies on History), who I have always found to be a solid and interesting source on the subject matter of anything ancient Egyptian. Other archaeological work is also discussed, so to detail the evolution of Egypt's concept of the afterlife.
The biggest drawback of this documentary is that it's exceedingly short for the subject matter discussed within it, for much of what seemed to have been some of the more interesting aspects of the Pharaoh's journey through the underworld were mentioned only in passing, with, at best, a cute representative visual. Toward the end the sequences seemed particularly rushed.
Overall, the documentary is enjoyable and informative. Recommended.

The DVD is the best I have ever bought so far related to Egyptian History. The despiction of the book of gates/book of the dead is awesome, all related to Seti I enterrament.
Highly recommended.
