Description
|
|
|
|
This collection of four documentaries on two discs employs computer animation, dramatic re-creations, and interviews with historians and scholars to illuminate the lives of ancient Egyptians. "The Battle of Megiddo," describes a confrontation between the forces of Thutmose III and rebellious Canaanites, widely accepted as the first battle recorded in reliable detail. "Tomb Robbers" relates how most of the tombs in the Valley of the Kings were robbed within a hundred years of their sealing. Based in Thebes, "The Priests of Anum" became more powerful than the Pharaohs during the 21st dynasty. And "The Cult of the Apis Bull" documents how the bull deity of Memphis became the most sacred animal in Egypt.
