MUMBAI: This month The History Channel (THC) brings viewers
close to Egypt.
Viewers will travel back in time into an era of grandeur,
deception and bloodshed and witness the rise and fall of one
of the earliest empires in the world - Egypt! The show airs
every Sunday at 10 pm.
2500 years before the reign of Julius Caesar-a span of time
longer than that which separates us from him-the ancient Egyptians
were deftly harnessing the power of engineering on an unprecedented
scale. Their ingenuity and manpower was already yielding the
world's first stone superstructures-one of which would stand
as the world's tallest building until the 19th century. The
History channel recreates these engineering marvels with the
help of advanced computer generated imaging in Egypt: Engineering
an Empire.
This is part of the Egypt special on The History Channel.
The month of March is dedicated to the Egyptian empire as
The History Channel features a two-hour episode 'Egypt: Engineering
an Empire' on 18 March 2007. Another episode is called Digging
for the Truth: Cleopatra & Nefertiti om 25 March 2007.
THC senior VP- programming Joy Bhattacharjya says, "The
History Channel has consistently offered its viewers factual
programming that is both entertaining and engaging. Full of
drama and theatrics, the series unfolds like a movie and we
are confident that our viewers will receive it with great enthusiasm."
Featuring realistic dramatic re-enactments along with exciting
narratives, expert commentary from historians and original
illustrations from the era, the Egypt special allows viewers
a peek into the riveting lives of the first men and women
who commanded the vast resources and power of ancient Egypt.
