As an Ancient Egyptian Scholar, and obviously lover of all things AE, I soak up anything I find, even if it's the most basic of documentaries, like this one purports itself to be. That being said, the information contained therein should be easy to understand, if not entertaining, and CORRECT. This video falls flat on all three points. Information is just thrown at the viewer like my Italian Renaissance Summer course at university, where they didn't get our books, so the Professor spent two hours a day, two days a week filling three walls of white boards, putting up name after name of Popes and Minor Royals, with no explain/story to explain what their importance & connection were! The video just throws deities names out there, at improper junctions, with improper identification, as if in a maelstrom. Woe betide those who are trying to learn something, because if you DO actually pick something up, it's going to be wrong! Those really interested, Borders Books has an expensive- but worth it- coffee table book with in-depth information and many photos, my friends love flipping through it. Find another documentary if you actually want to learn!
