Mysteries of Egypt
Approx. Running time: 45 minutes
Mysteries of Egypt will transport students to a distant time and place where the Nile River Valley cuts an emerald swath through the desert sands. In the flood-fed richness of this land rose an ancient kingdom whose culture has strongly influenced the western world. Its massive architecture and the intrigue of such personages as Nefertiti and Tutankhamen capture the imagination. Around the old capital of Memphis, near modern Giza, rulers such as Ramses II built massive funerary pyramids to house them in their afterlife and farther up the river, temples were built to the pharaohs and their gods at Luxor and Karnak. With a dedicated team of scientists, MYSTERIES OF EGYPT will explore these magnificent edifices and the civilization that built them, bringing their wonder to life.

One critics review: The beauty of the film lies beneath the surface. Absolutely religiously beautiful, underwater cams capture these angelic swimmers, shirtless, fearlessly swim-dancing with sharks and dolphins. Shots from under these divers capture them as they float toward the sky like superheroes. You could watch them swim for hours. Truly inspirational -- the most pure elements of the human spirit reflecting light from the waves above.

The second is trained as an equestrian horse, an eventer. But this horse is a unique individual, stubborn and temperamental.
