This is the most ambitious factual series about Ancient Egypt ever made. State of the art filmmaking and computer images combine to recreate the Ancient Egyptian world, bringing to life the extraordinary ancient papyrus documents in four seamless, dramatic documentaries. This is the story of ancient Egypt from the ground up: the real lives of humble quarrymen, devious aristocrats, dutiful daughters and conquering Pharaohs. Their narratives, and their own words, have come down to us in a handful of rare documents, letters and other intimate records which open a window into this ancient world. This is an ancient Egypt that has not been seen before: intimate, visceral, and above all human, peopled by characters whose passions and preoccupations we recognise today.
