04/03/2017 Some of Egyptian history sunk in. I could have used more detail about Egypt in general instead of all the hype about the curse of the tomb. Could have used less of Omar Sharif and the little girl. In fact, could have done without the girl at all.

The story and dialogue, however, featuring an aristocratic Omar Sharif gently lecturing a little girl about the "curse" of King Tut was pretty corny. There is also a reenactment of the discovery of King Tut's tomb done in sepia tones which is fairly dramatic and well done. A little bit of history and some gorgeous scenery are the highlights of this short film which has a unique interpretation of ancient Egyptian civilization.

See more 10/29/2010 This one has some glorious cinematography of the Egyptian tombs and deserts with some amazing footage caught here. Also it contains some notes and scenes on the marvelous discovery of King Tut which happens to be the best preserved and most intact pharaonic tomb ever found in the Valley of the Kings. Running only at 38 minutes, it was not enough for me. On the lookout for more documentaries on ancient Egypt.
