Egypt, a land of mystery, where the majestic remnants of a fascinating
culture & civilisation tower above the desert,
while other artefacts lie buried under the sands and hidden in the stars above.
To ancient Egyptians the stars were a part of a great circle of life, death and rebirth.
They were the realm of the Gods who governed the Earth from the sky.
Even the Pharaohs were believed to be living Gods,
who would continued to rule Egypt from thrones in the heavens long after their deaths.
Many of their of great temples of monuments were accurate aligned to objects in the sky,
and towered above the Earth as if to touch the stars themselves.

And what is their contribution to our modern science of Astronomy?
I'm John Rhys-Davies, join me as we search through the temples, tombs and the skies of Egypt long past.
To uncover the secrets the secrets of their knowledge.
Knowledge hidden in the Stars of the Pharaohs.
