People all over the world have been fascinated by the history and culture of the early Egyptians and their preoccupation with the afterlife. The discovery of treasures buried with the pharaohs only fueled the intense interest in the mysteries of the pyramids and the elaborate burial customs associated with the Egyptians. In Mystic Lands: Egypt - Circle of Life, host Edward James Olmos strives to separate fact from legend as he visits the Sphinx, the Pyramids at Giza, and the Valley of the Kings. Atmospheric music is provided by Chris Spheeris. A classroom version of the videos is also available. ~ Alice Day, All Movie Guide
