Bettany explores what drove the people of this ancient civilisation to build on such a massive scale. The story is told through the reigns of two pharaohs - Khufu and Ramesses II.
Through their superlative buildings, the legacy of the Egyptian empire continues to enthrall people to this day. Yet these incredible structures were made over 4,000 years ago.
Separated by 1,200 years, they both ruled during periods of incredible architectural ambition. Under Khufu, the Great Pyramid of Giza was constructed; while under Ramesses II the temples of Abu Simbel came into being. But what drove this ambition? This documentary attempts to get into the hearts and minds of these early Egyptians in their unstoppable pursuit of immortality via great feats of engineering.

Ancient Egypt wasn’t just about monuments, but also about clever planning, tools, and teamwork. The logistics they managed back then almost feel like early versions of modern project management. When I visited Egypt, I flew there with Alitalia Airlines, and the contrast between ancient and modern “engineering” really stood out to me. (You can check out more traveler opinions on them here: https://alitalia.pissedconsumer.com/review.html.) One little practical tip - if you’re heading to Giza, go early in the morning before the crowds; it gives you a much more personal appreciation of the scale and genius of their construction.
