In this National Geographic film, Omar Sharif, actor and native Egyptian, and Kate Maberly tell a story of a grandfather who regales his granddaughter with the mesmerizing saga of pharaohs and wondrous treasures made of gold. In Mysteries of Egypt, Sharif takes viewers back over 4,000 years, to the time when the pyramids were built amid the spectacular landscape of the Nile and the Valley of the Kings, offering a glimpse into King Tut's tomb. Included as a bonus is a behind-the-scenes film, "The Making of the Mysteries of Egypt," which reveals the processes that go into the creation of a program.
