    I’m always in for a good documentary, or even a mediocre one.

  3. Tom Rees, on February 11th, 2009 at 5:25 am Said:

    Will you send to the UK? Have to say that your review didn’t really sell it for me :) But my nephew likes this sort of stuff.

      I will ship to the UK.

      I know my review had some down points,and I don’t blame anyone who isn’t interested. However, I got the offer of a second DVD to give away, and I thought it would be worth it, because someone could give it a home.

    This sounds like it could be used in several ways for undergraduate courses, though perhaps no as the creators intended LOL. I would be interested.

    Be good to compare it know i have read the review.

    Snakes, Curses, and Booby Traps …just my thing !

  7. Beverley, on February 12th, 2009 at 8:48 am Said:

    The review was well written and did indeed make me want to see the documentary. I have long had an interest in acrhaeology and the Egyptians etc and there aren’t nearly enough quality resources aimed at adults available.

    Please might I be considered for your giveaway? Thanks. :0)

    Sounds somewhat different to the kinds of thing I see on general archeological TV programs. Thanks for running the competition.

  9. Patricia Edwards, on February 12th, 2009 at 10:51 am Said:

    Having read your review, I do think this would be interesting to the unintiated. Had a cousin who was an archeologist, she sadly died a couple of years ago and would love this to give to her Mum

    I went to see it at cinema in “Bury” but couldn’t hear it for bloke in front row “coffin”

  11. Sue Lemmon, on February 12th, 2009 at 12:12 pm Said:

    Sounds like my cup of tea !!

  12. claire woods, on February 12th, 2009 at 3:28 pm Said:

    This sounds interesting.

  13. MAXINE FULLER, on February 12th, 2009 at 4:20 pm Said:

    It sounds like my type of documentary, but your review wasn`t so good, but i would still be interested to watch it.

  14. Christine Temlett, on February 12th, 2009 at 4:47 pm Said:

    Looks very interesting would like to win.

  15. Gerri Tennant, on February 12th, 2009 at 6:22 pm Said:

  21. Lesley Davis, on February 13th, 2009 at 8:32 am Said:

    Review well written & makes the reader interested in this film. Reminds me of Hercule Piorot Film.

    Go on then, Send me it

  23. hassni, on February 13th, 2009 at 12:18 pm Said:

    Having visited Egypt a few times I would be very interested in seeing this DVD. Many years ago on my first trip to Egypt I actually visited a Tomb inside the Great Pyramid. I had to pull myself up by a rope, inside was dark and dusty and pretty empty, but fascinating and exciting nonetheless.

  29. vivien, on February 14th, 2009 at 6:04 pm Said:

    just found this site,interesting and fantastic, will be back

  30. Tim Falkenberg, on February 14th, 2009 at 9:47 pm Said:

    I should enjoy it, and if I don’t, my 6 year old daughter is an archaeology nut and probably less discriminating!

  31. helen warrener, on February 15th, 2009 at 12:05 am Said:

    this house wouldn’t run without a documentary to watch everyday

  32. Carolynn Woodland, on February 15th, 2009 at 1:46 pm Said:

    Sounds fascinating to me as when we visited Valley of the Kings, my husband came out of Tutankhamun’s Tomb (where he was obviously cursed) he then fell down the steps into Rameses III ’s Tomb and broke his wrist!

  33. Suzanne, on February 19th, 2009 at 12:12 am Said:

    I haven’t seen this one. Some of us who work in Egypt don’t have the exciting lives of our forefathers and need to live vicariously through flashy documentaries. I have never needed to hack my way through undergrowth to get to a faculty meeting, but occasionally there are villains.

  34. (((Billy))), on February 19th, 2009 at 8:07 am Said:

    Does this count as a comment?

  35. carla, on February 19th, 2009 at 11:50 am Said:

    Hi,
    Love the website (have it bookmarked), and its nice of you to offer up a prize. I love the history channel dvds, but unfortunatly don’t own any of the archaeology ones as yet.

  36. Gareth, on February 19th, 2009 at 4:44 pm Said:

    Read your review. Looks like an interesting, if patchy, watch. Anyway, worth a look I reckon… Count me in please.

  37. Douglas DeWhite, on February 21st, 2009 at 8:37 am Said:

    Very nice site. I’ve popped it from time to time as I rebroadcast Kevin Smith archived shows and he covered this topic. I’d like to add your link to our site if that’s ok.
    Doug

  38. Lindsey Roberts, on February 21st, 2009 at 4:40 pm Said:

    have read a few reviews on this, sounds like good viewing.
    my son loves any thing like this.

  39. Tom Rees, on February 22nd, 2009 at 4:37 pm Said:

    Have you had a chance to see ‘How Archaeology Illuminates the Bible ‘

    http://www.christianpost.com/Education/General/2009/02/dvd-series-reveals-how-archaelogy-illuminates-the-bible-20/

    Would love to know if it’s any good. Still looking for a good primer on biblical archaeology.

  40. Caroline Lee, on February 22nd, 2009 at 7:21 pm Said:

    Okay the review looks cool – my older kid wants to be a tomb raider or crocodile hunter or a hurricane chaser. I blame the good TV programmes.

    (makes mental note to take to her to some work experience in the dreaded OFFICE and make her watch Eastenders)

  41. Susan Hall, on February 24th, 2009 at 7:53 am Said:

    I’m off to Luxor next month and would love to win this to give myself a different view of the digs – to give me a variation on what is told to me by the guides.

  42. Karen Hartley, on February 24th, 2009 at 3:59 pm Said:

    It looks really interesting. Hope I win!

  43. Hazel Smithies, on February 26th, 2009 at 2:58 pm Said:

    Much better and more exciting than Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider.

  44. stewart miller, on February 26th, 2009 at 9:08 pm Said:

    I love secret tombs, underground tunnels hence the History Channel and uktv history always being one of our favourites.

  45. Emma Wolski, on February 27th, 2009 at 1:29 am Said:

    We love the documentries, how nice to be able to watch them without breaks and have them on DVD to refer back to!!

  46. Jane Hope, on February 27th, 2009 at 8:55 am Said:

    This is certainly different – I should think it will be very interesting!

  47. Steve, on February 27th, 2009 at 6:18 pm Said:

    Did Aliens build these temples, pyramids and structures and created us has an experiment?

  48. Catherine MacLennan, on February 27th, 2009 at 6:40 pm Said:

    Looks an amazing DVD would love to win it

  49. Nathan Holden, on February 27th, 2009 at 7:07 pm Said:

  50. Steven Montgomery, on February 28th, 2009 at 5:25 am Said:

    Documentaries make for great watching

  51. paula Gallivan, on February 28th, 2009 at 7:58 am Said:

    fingers crossed its me!!

  52. Christina Cooke, on February 28th, 2009 at 9:32 am Said:

    This would be a good resource for my daughter who is interested in anything relating to tombs!
