Immortal Egypt

C'mon Dr. Are you telling me that you think the Egyptians built the Pyramids? Just tell the truth, you know damn well that the Anunnaki built them. Stop lying please!!!

I really enjoyed this little series, largely due to the enthusiasm shown for the subject matter by the presenter, Joann Fletcher. I have always had a strong interest in Egyptian history, but over the years I have not kept up on the latest developments. From these episodes, I learned many new things about how the civilization had its beginnings, flourished, and ultimately declined. As an example, I didn't know that looting of tombs in the Valley of the Kings was sanctioned by the state, namely the high priest of upper Egypt. The cinematography is well done, giving beautiful views of the scenery, structures and artifacts left from their time.

The content is decent and you gain a good insight into history and people of Egypt. The presenter, however, is terrible and insincere. She's tries to be overly dramatic and fails miserably.

Joan Fletcher's hosting & narration in these Timeline series are the main reason I watch these. Her spin and impeccable talent in taking the viewer to the era of the Kings and Queens of Egypt are captivating. I love hearing her talk, and also admire her vast knowledge.

I appreciated that Joann didn't cover only the standard history, but continued through the Greeks to the Roman takeover. I learned some new things. Thanks!
