Title: National Geographic - Egypt Eternal - The Quest for Lost Tombs/Egypt - Secrets of the Pharaohs (2-pack)
Review:If you have kids, between 8 and 14 years old, this kind of thing is great. It is intellectually stimulating, because it shows the complexity of this search. It visually supports the topic, and it is not too complex or obscure. I would also say, if you are a history teacher, get it so that you have to explain less. If a picture is worth 1,000 words, imagine the value of an entire video!

Title: Mysteries of Egypt
Description:Spectacular cinematography used in an innovative framework featuring noted actor and native Egyptian Omar Sharif provide a highly entertaining glimpse of ancient Egypt in this documentary from National Geographic. Sharif, playing a grandfather who is explaining the archeological wonders to his inquisitive granddaughter, does a fine job of explaining such puzzles as how the pyramids would have been built and what knowledge their builders must have possessed. The interludes between grandfather and granddaughter are handled well, but the star of the production is Egypt itself.
