Trivia

This film features some of the alleged controversies in history - the construction of the great pyramids 12,000 years ago, almost 7,500 years earlier, the existence of the Ben-Ben stone (the pyramidion stone that is now missing from the top of the Khafre pyramid), the correlation between the position of the pyramids and the stars from the Orion constellation (associated by the Egyptians with the god Osiris), the Sphinx with a head of a lion allegedly correlated with the Leo constellation rising to the east (at the same time when Orion is in conjunction with the Giza pyramid complex) and the possible nonhuman origin of the first kings of Egypt.

Goofs

When the leader of the African tribe is telling D'Leh about how his family was taken away, he calls out to his tribesman and you can clearly see a metal molar in his mouth.

User Reviews

Amazing, Entertaining, and Powerful Hero's Journey!

See for yourself and forget the obviously biased ratings...

Honestly, I would rate this at least a 7.4 but for some reason there are a lot of idiots bashing this movie.

Compared to what's out there, trust me, it's definitely worth watching if you can appreciate a great story, with lot's of adventure... but then again, if you left your imagination in the gutter then forget this one!

After seeing all these 5hit reviews, I've suddenly become very circumspect about the IMDb rating system. Like they say, masses are a55es...
