Product Description

Product Description

This title is based on a series revealing what life was really like in Ancient Egypt. Channel 4/ Learning Channel's #6 million series sees Wall-to-Wall TV team up with the company that did the special effects on Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" to produce a series which was four years in the making. The combination of drama, graphics and cutting-edge research will be reflected in a beautiful book with original C.G.I. images created specially for the book. As well as forming a stand-alone guide to Ancient Egypt, the book also focuses on four very specific stories that give a full flavour of what daily life was like then. It also goes behind the scenes to show how the series was made and the revelations about Ancient Egypt that came to light through this. Full colour spreads depict the 137 sets and locations and reflect the scope of the production - including the 200 extras and over 1000 costumes that were used.


From the Inside Flap

This extraordinary book reflects the dramatic, groundbreaking TV series Ancient Egyptians, revealing what life was really like in this empire.
The text, which encompasses cutting-edge research, leads the reader through this ancient world. It is complemented by specially shot photographs and exclusively created computer graphics, which breathe life into the civilization to reveal it as never before.
Part one of the book follows the entire history of Ancient Egypt, from its start in 5000 BC through to the end of the empire. As well as offering an insight into the world of the Pharaohs, this comprehensive history explains all aspects of the culture, from architecture and warfare to medicine and women's rights.
Part two of the book focuses on four specific stories of ordinary Egyptians, as dramatised in the TV series, and gives a full flavour of what their lives were like. These stories are uniquely based on real texts that have been pieced together to show a living slice of this lost world.
