I know right. I suppose it goes to show, that all good things hidden away last if they remain well preserved.. Thanks to the museum archives as well as YT.
A lot of people don't know this, but many ancient Egyptian artworks are meant to be viewed as though you were looking through the one side to see what is on the other side. For example there might be an empty bowl of food on one wall, and in the exact same spot if you were looking through the wall there would be food for the bowl somehow worked into the design. I watched a very good documentary about this concept here on youtube.
This is so well done . Even for its time . NO BS . No ancient alien stuff . No interference from the Egyptian government. Just as much truth as they could provide. Thank you PBS .
I’m just settling in. I’ll likely enjoy it. But I think they missed the point of the Marmer relief. Look closely and you’ll see that he is about to dash someone’s brains out. The kind of imagery a Pharoah might need.
Not gonna lie I remember seeing the cover of that movie in blockbuster as a kid and thinking it was a 🌽flick Wasn’t it like a Pam Anderson type riding a motorcycle or dragon or sumn…
I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw this in school as a child on vhs, and it seemed like this was a lost video. I tried youtubing this for years and I thought it was just too old and underappreciated to have been preserved. Glad I was wrong!
This is absolute & pure nostalgia for me. I watched this many times as a child and when I was finally able to go and see an actual Egyptian exhibit in a museum I shed tears.
Wow. This show is like an I, Claudius reunion, what with Brian Blessed, Derek Jacobi, John Hurt and Sian Phillips rounding out the cast. They truly have royal voices!
Interesting that John Hurt did voices for this one. I thought that one of the voices on "Cathedral" sounded like him, but it was actually Sean Barrett (possibly doing an exaggerated impression of John Hurt's voice).
This is the 2nd David Macaulay documentary I've seen and its fantastic. Great attention to detail and packed full of information..they don't make em like this anymore
@@michiganstatearchaeologyte800 except those faces DO LOOK LIKE Ethiopian faces, look again. You racists imagine such a great difference in appearance between what you think is "African Face type" and the true variety in the appearance of people all over Africa as Anthropologists understand! No, I'm not an African or "Black Supremacist", I'm an anti racist regardless of who the racism is against, especially Eurocentric anti "Black" African racism as was just written here! RIDICULOUS!
I too have this, still, on vhs, and watched it a million times since the 90s but havnt watched in years. happened upon this and saved it to my favs. I remember every line and musical note. thats why I love it so much I think....the music. but also love how this story was told.
I remember this being in three parts. I loved this when I saw it in fifth grade, but I was sick on the last day so never finished. Thank you though for allowing me to see it.
As a kid I didn't know much about the history behind this story. I've looked it up now, and I'm amazed at how closely the animated story here builds off of history. Djedefra probably did murder one of his brothers to get the throne, and his little brother Khafre really is believed to be the pharaoh who built the sphinx.
The Sphinx is believed to be an outcropping of rock in the desert. Not a bunch of blocks dragged there and it is dated to 11000years BEFORE Kufu(or Khafre) built the Great Pyramid. The erosion wear marks on the sides of the enclosure of the Sphinx is from WATER & as Egypt is basically a dry desert this had happened WAY before there were Egyptians.(Robert Schoch determined that) Also as they were very good at accuracy to carving in proper proportions then the head of the Sphinx was that of a much larger Lion.(a Lion worshipping cult before the Egyptians)? who have never worshipped Lions. As for the face now on the Sphinx, who it is? It is not Kufu. It does not match the tiny statue that was found in Kufu's pyramid
@@bunzeebear2973 There is a lot of mystery regarding the Sphinx, so it's difficult to know exactly how old it is. I think the area the Sphinx is in was not quite as dry 3500 years ago as it is now. I've also heard a hypothesis that the head of the Sphinx might have been added to the outcropping later (presumably by Khafre?).
@@bunzeebear2973 We don’t know that for sure. In one year, that theory you mentioned has been almost completely debunked. However, they are all theories and speculations. We need to be wise and rational to be closer to the truth.
I just love these old documentaries. Back in the day (early 2000s and before) you'd get endless content of these types of documentaries on discovery channel and national geographic. Nowadays you get boring car shows and reality tv its a shame
What a Great story. I loved the magical ending. The music was great. I really loved how they added it in all throughout the story. Really added some spice to ancient Egypt👌🔥👍
I must have watched this a million times over and yet only today did I read the end credits and realize all the great actors that voiced the animated parts.
You have the same foreigners who caused the demise of your ancestor's distinct culture and nation educating you about how your ancestors lived. You have accepted the inferior status they have given you.
Derek Jacobi has such a distinctive voice. I recognize that voice anywhere! Derek Jacobi as some of you might know played Senator Gracchus in the movie Gladiator (2000).
Egypt. What a beautiful culture. A kingdom of royalty, gold, beauty and fashion. Plus they make very good stories, too, not just the story of the pharaohs but also the commoners, the slaves and the pharaoh's high class of people. I wonder, did Khufu actually mate with his queens to have as many children as he had or did he mate with some of the slaves? How exactly did pharaohs have so many children? I mean, I understand why they had to, but HOW did they manage to?
What an amazing voice cast ! In addition to the I, Claudius group, you also have Tim Piggot-Smith (Creedy from V for Vendetta) and Timothy Spall (Wormtail from Harry Potter) !!!
Majority of the Films portraying Ancient Egyptians are White Washed and I am sick of it. Therefore, I am grateful the producers made an historically accurate portrayal of the Ancient Egyptians.
ifelder489 is it all the pointy noses and tiny lips that upset people, dam Egyptians recorded in stone forever and ever hunting Negroids for fun that live in caves and thickets that often eat one another, Egyptians always portray themselves completely Caucasian
ifeider489, We're all African, humans originated from that continent about 300K years ago. So you get your African so long as a human is acting the role. White washed? Quit being such a racist bigot. Or I'll make sure the next Egypt docudrama has a cast of only Chinese, Norwegian, Peruvian, and Eskimo. Just to see your racist mind fry.
Been ages since I seen this. Great memories. The cast of I Claudius as voice over was great. Plus one of the first shows that portrayed the sphinx as ancient authors and travelers said it looked liked. A North African civilizations.
I'll never forget when they showed this to my class in 7th Grade. Mostly because 10:02 made my hormone-addled jaw drop; school was the last place I expected to see something like that, and needless to say, I (and I'm sure a lot of the other boys) were paying VERY close attention after that.
Except more has come to light even since this was posted. Love Dave and his works. I remember reading his books many years ago in the school library. Frankly we humans still can't explain much of the old world.
I remember this guy's "children's books" back in the 20th century, and we watched this in school (on the TV on the roller-cart with a VCR; Los Angeles County School District spared no expense!)

The Ancient Egyptian Unit of Measure is the Cubit. The length is derived from tools/rules found in tombs in which there is an evidential variance of about 2% (1 cent. in 50). Using parameters found within the Great Pyramid, a Cubit of .5235 m. has been derived. A circle of 6 Cubits has a 1 meter Diameter (meter 1/10,000,000th distance from Equator to North Pole) The Pyramid Height = the radius of a circle with a length of its base parameter.Yet nowhere can you find Pi in Ancient Egypt. Nowhere.
Vous avez mis le doigt dessus cette correspondance est la plus étonnante pour toute éternité. Personne ne pourra jamais la remettre en question. Un phénomène naturel je crois...
Almost brings me to tears seeing they actually went with making the animations with accurate skin tones. Too many people now believe they were only pure white skinned people in rule during this time. D
That is not an accurate skin tone.The ancient Egyptian has skin tone varying from the Ethiopian to the Sudanese.Don't be fooled by a white society.Sudan ,Punt and beyond is god's land as the Egyptian refer to it.That is where their ancestors and their gods came from.See hatshepsut recording
Nobody thinks that at all. Way to be a total racist. Literally no one thinks that Egyptians were white. You just want to denigrate white people by making them out to be ignorant and ethnocentric.
A truly enjoyable piece, just enjoy the Production for its place in Time - the value of relaxing entertainment. Possibly the single most discussed subject *with the most inaccurate application of MS Academia rhetoric.* Many more finds and greater clarity have emerged. GeoPhysics is truly enlightening.
"Local limestone blocks, some as heavy as 15 tons!" What about all the granite blocks from Aswan, 500 miles away, some as heavy as 70 tons? It's nostalgic and entertaining, but there's not much in the way of historical accuracy. Interesting that in the scene where they put Khufu to rest the chamber is as empty and the walls inscription free as they are today. I mean considering that the reason none of that was ever found was because of grave robbers. Don't get me started on how steep and narrow the shaft up to the kings chamber is, and how difficult it would have been to get a body up it (or out) much less any treasure.
1 Egyptian block weights 2.5 Tons, 1 Ton is 2000pds. that's 5000pds. Well if u had 7 Arnie's who can lift 700pds each? Which he could back in the day, that would be 4900pds. 15 Tons is 30 000pds. 50 Arnie Schwartzies could lift 35 000pds. If i didn't have 50 Arnie's, then i would get some rope and 15 Tons of Bricks. Done. Giorgio is playing you for a fool.
The only person who is using desernment instead of nostalgia.. All comments say I watched this in school "doesn't make it true. (PBS). Is like (ACME). THATS ALL FOLKS. says porrky pig.. What looony tunes. This is.
The mustache of the Pyramids! How fast things age. So many of the ancient guys--in the animation--had the best idea: shave it all off and be a skinhead on the Nile.
In my headcanon, Meritities dislikes Henutsen and sees her as a rival for Khufu's affections, but secretly hates Mersyankh with a passion and eagerly awaits to see her dead becasue she knows somehow that she's partially responsible for Baufra's death.
It's hard to explain, but there is something that conveys a cozy and comforting essence in these types of documentaries and the way they are produced.
I know right. I suppose it goes to show, that all good things hidden away last if they remain well preserved.. Thanks to the museum archives as well as YT.

That's interesting!
The animation is a nice touch. I've never seen such a serious treatment of ancient Egypt done in a cartoon.
Check out the computer game Pharaoh, it's also done in cartoon style and very fun to play while being historically accurate.
We need a slice of life cartoon set during the Old Kingdom.
The prince of Egypt is a good movie
Golden age of documentaries
This is so well done . Even for its time . NO BS . No ancient alien stuff . No interference from the Egyptian government. Just as much truth as they could provide. Thank you PBS .

Absolutely many academics, engineers, and professors are extremely arrogant. This presenter, McCauley is not, at least not in this video.

A truly enjoyable piece, just enjoy the Production for its place in Time - the value of relaxing entertainment.
Possibly the single most discussed subject *with the most inaccurate application of MS Academia rhetoric.*
Many more finds and greater clarity have emerged. GeoPhysics is truly enlightening.
"Local limestone blocks, some as heavy as 15 tons!" What about all the granite blocks from Aswan, 500 miles away, some as heavy as 70 tons? It's nostalgic and entertaining, but there's not much in the way of historical accuracy. Interesting that in the scene where they put Khufu to rest the chamber is as empty and the walls inscription free as they are today. I mean considering that the reason none of that was ever found was because of grave robbers. Don't get me started on how steep and narrow the shaft up to the kings chamber is, and how difficult it would have been to get a body up it (or out) much less any treasure.
1 Egyptian block weights 2.5 Tons, 1 Ton is 2000pds. that's 5000pds. Well if u had 7 Arnie's who can lift 700pds each? Which he could back in the day, that would be 4900pds. 15 Tons is 30 000pds. 50 Arnie Schwartzies could lift 35 000pds. If i didn't have 50 Arnie's, then i would get some rope and 15 Tons of Bricks. Done. Giorgio is playing you for a fool.
The only person who is using desernment instead of nostalgia..

I remember seeing this part 41:29 as a kid in school and wondering “how the hell did he get up there?” 😂
These TV movies were an "I, Claudius" reunion. Hurt, Blessed, Phillips, Jacobi
The mustache of the Pyramids! How fast things age. So many of the ancient guys--in the animation--had the best idea: shave it all off and be a skinhead on the Nile.
40:40 how much of this did they complete? I've seen a lot of recent videos by travelers but haven't noticed this before, interesting for sure
This is masterpiece 🔥🔥
In my headcanon, Meritities dislikes Henutsen and sees her as a rival for Khufu's affections, but secretly hates Mersyankh with a passion and eagerly awaits to see her dead becasue she knows somehow that she's partially responsible for Baufra's death.
