Today I saw another documnentary on Egypt, this one's called 'Ancient Egypt and The Land of Pharaohs'. The documentary had two films, one on the ancient Egypt and the other on all the Pharaohs. This doc was more academic in nature and so it was very informative. It was also drab becos of the same reason. Anyway, it has its own advantages. For example, I learnt that the first pyramid that was built almost 5000 years ago was the first man-made structure and it was the tallest till the 19th century. Also during the construction of the pyramids, when accidents did happen, the workers were treated medically and if required they were operated on too. It was worth watching.
