The Great Pyramid Video Series

Pyramid at GizaAn informational video series on the Great Pyramid at Giza. It includes history, architecture, and the chambers inside the pyramid itself. The videos are older, but nevertheless the quality of the information is still applicable, enjoyable, and up for plenty of discussion. A question is raised through the videos on whether or not the pyramid has a Christian Biblical significance, an interesting idea, although the evidence could be more convincing.

Nefertiti BustA more in-depth video series on the glory of the New Kingdom and its warrior pharaohs. It covers the invasion of the Hyksos and Nubians, Hatsheput, and Tuthmosis III with awesome detail for a documentary.















Inside King Tutankhamen's Tomb

King Tut Burial MaskWhile the thought of there being a curse surrounding the infamous King Tutankhamen is a little outdated (then again I believe they are using the word "curse" very loosely, more in the sense of a mystery), the evidence this crew believes they have found about his death and life is worth a some consideration. It is a reminder that we have no clue and that theories will constantly abound on Tut's death.
