This is a FIVE STAR film...the best documentary that I have ever seen about ancient Egypt. It explains, with the most beautiful imagery, the creation and purpose of Egyptian hieroglyphics and art. Extraordinary! Inspirational!

Thank you very much for the beautiful contour-specific episode on Ancient Egyptian art, and the heart warming flutes made from the reeds that thrive on the Nile banks.

That unfinished tomb with the grid pattern is fascinating as can be. As an artist I’m captivated by the ability to see the “process”. Amazing

Ah, a Perspective documentary on my homeland. Beautifully presented, thank you~ The dance with the stick is still a part of the North's tradition. It's called Saidi.

The Egyptian reminds me of how we draw, when we first learn to draw.
The Egyptians used drawing for most things important. Like writing.
The many art work that is shown is definitely not European or Caucasian!

Omg an actual documentary about ancient Egypt! So much of what I've tried to watch is trash that I couldn't even learn anything I didn't know from a semester of undergrad (or, worse, it's that terrible alien propaganda). Thank you for making/releasing this.

A great film with a more indept look at Egyptian living and death than we hear in the usual documentary of Egypt pharaohs and the everyday civilians of the time.
