The ancient Egyptians series is really quite good, I have it on DVD. I am sure i've said this all before but the best ones are the one on the Apis bull, the one about the tomb robbers was also quite good and the one about the murder in the temple is also quite good, in all of them you get some good reconstructions of things which makes them worth watching.

Sorry about that. Slipped out of my mind I guess. I edited them. I even added the number it shows up in my area in case they're close to someone else's.
