RELEASE NOTES
Episode 5 -
The Mystery of the Rosetta Stone 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.
