Produced by Evans & Sutherland Digital Theater and narrated by John Rhys-Davies, Gimli from The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Stars of the Pharaohs allows audiences to travel to ancient Egypt to see how science was used to tell time, make a workable calendar, and align huge buildings. You’ll learn about the connection the ancient Egyptians felt with the stars and various astronomical phenomena. And thanks to the time Digital Theater’s production team spent on location in Egypt taking photographs and measurements, you’ll see some of the most spectacular temples and tombs of the ancient world recreated in their original splendor.
