:47:01
We have a panic moment here.
:47:02
See what I'm wondering...
:47:04
if we had some good lengths
of rope that

:47:06
we could throw on shore and
draw that in.

:47:08
It's a last ditch attempt
sail the boat anywhere

:47:11
near the shore and have
:47:13
the extras drag it in with ropes.
:47:20
Throw the damn rope.
:47:21
But the nightmare continues.
:47:23
The light is going,
and the shot with it.

:47:27
I quit...the boat looks great...
:47:30
yeah all the physical
elements are great...

:47:31
just, you know,
:47:33
we just want to get the boat
to go up the river

:47:37
turn around and come back.
:47:38
And we finally just
:47:39
we have to move on and
do other things.

:47:42
At least there were no casualties.
:47:44
During the actual building
of the pyramids,

:47:46
mistakes often resulted
:47:47
in serious injury and sometimes death.
:47:51
Building the pyramid for sure
there was many accidents

:47:54
we found about 12 skeletons.
:47:56
At least ten of them
had accidents on their hand

:48:00
two of them had accidents
on their leg.

:48:03
It means maybe a stone
fell down on their leg.

:48:08
Pyramid-building was dangerous work.
:48:11
In the next scene,
:48:12
the crew will film a runaway
column stone.

:48:16
It's only a prop,
but it weighs about 400 pounds.

:48:25
Actors, extras, and an
:48:26
Egyptian stuntwoman must scramble
:48:29
out of the column's path
at the last possible moment.

:48:32
There is little room for error.
:48:42
While the prop gets
a last minute touch-up...

:48:45
the film crew shoots
the stone's point of view.

:48:57
She's quick! Thank God.
