Egypt is one of the
earliest civilizations on Earth with over 3000 years of ancient civilization
and over 2000 years of modern Egypt
which is what we can see today. The civilization concentrated on the lower
reaches of Nile River, which is the life force for the
empire. Over 3000 years ago, the Egyptians had created ample of finest
monuments the world has ever seen and till now, many hidden mysteries still
laid beneath the desert
of Egypt.

| Temple of Ramesses 2, Abu Simbel |
At the dawn of
history, the ancient Egyptians first showed the world how to build the
impossible. In an age before machines, when copper was the strongest metal yet
discovered, great Pharaohs like Khufu and Ramses II demonstrated how boundless
ambition and vast quantities of human labour could transform rock and stone
into some of the most incredible monuments ever created from carving out
spectacular tombs in the Valley of the Kings to the building of the iconic
Great Pyramid. In this fascinating documentary special we uncover the secrets
of Ancient Egypt's pharaohs, engineers and architects and bring to life great
buildings as the ancient Egyptians saw them - towering over the greatest civilization in the history of Africa, and perhaps the world. As we do so, we
reveal the unique stories behind the people whose achievements they immortalize.
