Egyptian Journeys with Dan Cruickshank (TV Mini-Series) English Subtitles

1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:08,400
The civilisation of Ancient Egypt, with its dramatic spectacle and mystery, has always fascinated me.

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,080
I've been travelling the country to explore some of the intriguing stories

3
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,800
that have emerged from this historic land.

4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,640
In this programme,

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,040
I'm setting off to discover how and why the Ancient Egyptians

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,760
made things to last forever, fuelled by their belief in eternity.

7
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:48,440
The remarkable thing about Ancient Egypt is that so much survives for us to marvel at,

8
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,720
up to 4,600 years after it was created.

9
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,920
Grand monuments, temples, tombs, we even have their bodies.

10
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,400
But it's no accident that we have so much.
