Be careful because at first it does look like a legitimate documentary. It uses interesting graphics courtesy of Google Earth (okay, but it does look cool) great shots of the Pyramids, and the requisite suspenseful soundtrack. It also asks some thought provoking questions, that are not even close to being answered in a proper manner.
My heart began to sink when I realized their Egyptian "expert" was an old village man with a couple of missing teeth who was titled "archaeologist" and "wisdom keeper." I just should have known an Egyptian documentary would not exist without our portly friend Dr. Zahi Hawass. Dr. Hawass' sweaty face is a staple of Egyptian archaeology and graces every respectable show I have seen. Of course. Why would Dr. Hawass be a part of this travesty? I still listened for a while, attempting to keep up. I was routinely more and more disheartened as I realized the "experts" included unknown professors and "electromagnetic field" researchers. What made matters worse was that ALL OF THEM insisted that the established academic and research world was colluding to keep real facts away from the public, and that they were all monumentally uncomfortable with the fact that Ancient Egypt possessed modern technology. They insisted, insisted, but offered creative theories instead of research or experiments.
I really knew it was lost once I heard "orbs" (you know, those pale dots that turn up on pictures that ghost chasers are obsessed with). Or maybe it was when they pointed out pictures of hieroglyphs that were CLEARLY bottles and tried to suggest they were early batteries. Or maybe it was when they brought up the shopworn crackpot theories of some interesting hieroglyphs being helicopters and such.
If all of this electromagnetic force is hanging around the pyramids, couldn't someone have attempted to light up a bulb to show us how it would work??? Couldn't somebody have conducted an experiment on how magnesium would conduct electricity through the Great Pyramid of Giza? Ancient Egyptians left so much crap around after them yet pieces of old batteries or helicopters have never turned up??? Really?? I am really irritated because for a while there I actually thought about what they were attempting to argue. I also was excited to find a series on Egypt I haven't seen. Watch this if you respect established research and would like some laughs.
