Two thousand years after
Egypt's last pharaon died
:39:29
a modern film crew
has just 34 days
:39:33
to bring their
ancient world alive.
:39:43
But putting history on film
:39:45
is always a delicate business
:39:48
and tackling ancient Egypt
:39:50
may be the toughest
filmmaking challenge of all.
:40:19
Ancient Egypt began
more than 5,000 years ago
:40:23
and its remarkable
civilization lasted 3,000 years.
:40:32
The magnificent remains of
Egypt's glorious past
:40:36
include the pyramids...tempes
:40:39
Tut's tomb and its treasures
:40:43
yet the people that created
:40:44
them were a mystery to us.
:40:52
But today we know more than
:40:53
ever about life in ancient Egypt
:40:56
and director Bruce Neibaur is
:40:57
celebrating our knowledge
:40:59
in a larger-than-life film.
