Battle Of Megiddo

Description: Ancient Egyptians is a hugely ambitious series that brings to life four extraordinary true stories from the age of the Pharaohs. Based on rare ancient texts, with dramatic location filming and state-of-the-art computer technology, the series captures the energy and immediacy of a living world, the drama of real lives, and the splendour of the most fascinating civilization of the ancient world. These are compelling human stories, told through the words and deeds of real people: a poor quarryman arrested for tomb robbing, an inexperienced Pharaoh facing a threat to his kingdom, a family caught up in a violent feud, and destitute twin girls struggling to survive in an unforgiving world. The stories of Ancient Egyptians have survived for thousands of years, scattered in the fragile pages of papyrus court records, letters, inscriptions, and even the records of ancient dreams. These stories come from only a handful of sources, rich and detailed enough to give us a full picture of actual characters and the story of their lives. In bringing them back to life, the actual words and thoughts of real people are recreated as dialogue in the original ancient Egyptian language. Filmed on location in Morocco and Egypt, with meticulously researched sets, locations and costumes, Ancient Egyptians delivers a startling and authentic vision of real life in the land of the Pharaohs.
