This DVD is a compilation of four episodes from the History Channel narrated by Frank Langetta. You may remember his voice from the TNT/Lux movie “Moses” and the Artisan movie “Jason and the Argonauts.”
The DVD takes an interesting look at mummies by describing the culture and its world view that made mummification important. The film takes a look at the process of mummification first, then the burial situations, the monuments inspired by their views on life and death, and the language of hieroglyphics. There is a section on Tutankhamen’s tomb as well as a bit of information on KV 5, the suspected burial tomb for Ramses II’s sons.
Some of the content on this DVD is updated and revisted in the other History Channel DVD set, “Beyond the pyramids.” If you’re interested in ancient history, even if not in Egyptology in particular, you will find this DVD to be informative and entertaining. It is well put together.
If you are looking for “Extras” on the DVD, you won’t find much. No secret gems I could find.
As its title suggests, this collection of four documentaries explores several aspects of the ancient civilization within the context of the Egyptian belief system.
That is not to imply that the scope is overly narrow, it gives a good overview of the culture and explains how the Egyptians obsession with the idea of eternity fueled their rituals of mummification, construction of the pyramids, building of the sphinx, and even the development of hieroglyphics.
The individual episodes may seem to not focus on their main subject and information in some episodes is repeated in others. But these are almost insignificant flaws in an otherwise fascinating documentary.
