Witness one dazzling find after another as National Geographic
uncovers some of the most exciting, headline-making discoveries
of recent times.
With exclusive access to sites linking Egypt's ancient aristocracy
to Tutankhamun and Ramses II, this DVD unearths treasures
from the cliffside of tombs overlooking the Nile Valley to
the sprawling Valley of the Golden Mummies...
The
Quest for Lost Tombs is a fine rough and ready guide to
the world of Egyptology and nothing more. Aimed at the uninitiated
this DVD tries to inform today's masses with its interesting
and gripping style.
The
production calls upon a number of experts in the field but
never really gives them enough airtime to make their research
interesting. Trying to cover this much ground in such a short
space of time left me wanting more.
Anyone
who is looking to further their education on the subject may
prefer to look elsewhere as this documentary only scrapes
away at the surface. As
an introduction to the subject, this documentary is fine,
but it is only ever going to appeal to those who have a passing
curiosity.
There
is also an Ancient Egypt quiz which comprises of five very
tough multiple choice questions and some trailers for other
National Geographic DVDs and that's your lot for extras.
An
interesting DVD which tries hard to be something it can't.
