Ancient Egypt
This travelogue starts in the Valley of the Kings at the tomb of King Tutankhamun, then it's on to the Valley of the Nile with the Colossi of Memnon, Luxor, Karmak, and the ancient city of Thebes. It concludes with a look at modern life along the great river where 13 million people live bordered by desert. The film's narrated thesis is that little has changed in these regions in more than 3000 years, from ancient times to present-day. Irrigation is performed using wheels and oxen as well as with the shaduf; also, women get water at a desert well. As the sun sets, a romantic song adds to the mood.
