In ancient Egypt, mummification was big business: priests were kept busy whispering spells and prayers for safe journeys to the other side, while slaves toiled on monstrously large coffins (called "pyramids") to store the king and his goodies. Interviews with scholars, combined with excellent camera work, computer graphics and historical film footage, make this ambitious examination of mummies and other wonders an excellent choice. The four titles in the boxed set are: Great Pyramids, Hieroglyphs, The Sphinx and King Tut. Highly recommended. Editor's Choice. Aud: J, H, C, P. (N. Plympton)
