Twenty-five hundred years before the reign of Julius Caesar, the ancient Egyptians were deftly harnessing the power of engineering on an unprecedented scale. Egyptian temples, fortresses, pyramids, and palaces forever redefined the limits of architectural possibility. They also served as a warning to all of Egypt's enemies that the world's most advanced civilization could accomplish anything. Please note this title contains mature themes and depicts reenactments of mummification.
