Desc: The Surprising History of Egypt: Directed by Phil Grabsky. With Terry Jones, Joann Fletcher, Azza Sarry el-Din, Isac Ramsey. Bringing to life the everyday details of the ancients Egyptians - bizarre, hilarious or shocking - this wonderfully entertaining and factually revealing film is packed full of surprises. With Jones throwing informed yet sometimes crazed light on the subject, a previously hidden world of the ancient Egyptians is wonderfully brought to life.
