RELEASE NOTES
Episode 6 -
The Secrets of the Hieroglyphs Part personal drama, part
documentary, part history lesson, Egypt is a first class, six-part
BBC production that manages to be at once edifying and entertaining.
Whereas the History Channel, for example, might tell its tale with a
mixture of reenactments, photos, interviews, and such, the makers of
Egypt opt for complete dramatizations focusing on three men and their
contributions to archaeology, with each story occupying two episodes.
First up is Englishman Howard Carter (Stuart Graham), who spent over
20 years searching for the tomb of King Tutankhamun before finally
locating it in the 1920s; his remarkable persistence and considerable
accomplishments are undeniable, but Carter comes off as a humorless
stiff who did little to endear himself to colleagues, patrons, and
anyone else in his orbit. Much more likeable is Giovanni Belzoni
(Matthew Kelly), a former circus strongman and most unlikely
Egyptologist who, in 1817, entered Abu Simbel, perhaps the most
impressive of the many monuments and temples dedicated to Ramesses
(sic) II. Finally, there is Jean Francois Champollion (Elliot Cowan),
a French linguistics expert who was the first Westerner to decipher
hieroglyphs and who made his first and only trip to Egypt in 1822. In
the process of detailing these men's various discoveries and
accomplishments, the series also offers some detail about their
personal relationships, as well as occasional insights (via
reenactments) into the lives of their subjects (King Tut, for
instance, assumed power at age 8 and soon was married to his own
sister). There's a darker side as well. The explorers who blithely
claim their discoveries for their respective nations are a chilling
reminder of the arrogance of European imperialists; meanwhile, church
authorities strictly proscribe Champollion from revealing any
information that might challenge its doctrine that the human race
began with Adam and Eve a mere few thousand years ago.
