4.0 out of 5 stars Well informed video to delite the senses., November 21, 1998

By A Customer

I found the Video pack to be very informative, and gives a rich history and background into the lives of the more well known Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. Also enjoyed the re-enactments scenes throughout the video, we well designed backgrounds, props, and actors.
