A Collection of Documentaries: Ancient Egypt

I watch and listen to a lot of documentaries on ancient cultures. Even the background sound is quite comforting. They're great to thrown on when it's work time...motivating in a sense. It's probably all the talk of mysticism and magic that truly gets me. Even just the sounds seem to penetrate and resonate.

It's not unlikely for me to watch a documentary (or listen to a song) that I really enjoy an unusual amount of times in a row. For example, this one stayed on repeat at least 8 or 9 times last night.

I'm not posting these because I agree or disagree with anything or everything they present. They're for entertainment and mystical contemplation of sorts. Some very good questions are posed, some very intriguing theories are explored.

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy!
