A 39-minute quickie overview of Egyptian history, religion, and mummies

I do not have 3-D yet, so I had to settle for Blu-ray. As I have implied, this is a quickie overview of Egypt. It is claimed that the same as the astonishing graphics. They do a decent job of showing Egypt from different views at various times of day under different lighting. While you are enjoying the way that it looks, this condensed version of history borrows from much longer programs and introduces us to major people who are still involved in Egyptology in the history of people who participated in Egyptology. The only thing that it lacks is a reading reference. The disc does have however the standard DVD extras such as "Meet the Mummies" and a 22-minute "making of" Featurette. There was a quiz, but I did not take it. Even if you already know the contents of the disk and even if you see the longer programs, this disc is still worth having, for a quick synopsis is worth re-watching periodically. I kept trying to figure out where the music came from; it sounded like things from 10 Commandments, Lawrence of Arabia, and other various pictures. It turns out that it was originally written for this presentation.
