Story line
If you are interested in pyramids you picked the wrong series. This program is about Egyptian culture, what they believed, how they thought and how they lived. It delves in detail into four points in Egyptian history:
The unification of Egypt under Narmer to create the First Dynasty,
The formation of the New Kingdom and the reign of Thutmose III,
Amenhotep III's and Akhenaten's attempt to supress the Amun-Ra cult.
Ramses II's building projects including the only know tomb for a pharoah's offspring.
The program employs very well all the aspects of the science documentatry art; detailed narration, extensive reenactments, visits to archeological sites including realistic animation of their original apperance and explanations by the egyptologists responsible of the discoveries and theories presentented. But all the stories, explanations and artifacts throughout are used to focus directly on the underlying subject of the series, the anthropology of ancient Egypt.
