You only have to think of Ancient Egypt and images of temples to the Gods, pyramids, mummies and hieroglyphs immediately come to mind. Ancient Egypt may lack the mythology of ancient Greece and Rome but The Land of the Pharaohs has close associations with biblical history so there is plenty of scope for subjects when it comes to movies about Ancient Egypt. Here’s a few:
1. CLEOPATRA
2. ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET THE MUMMY
3. THE MUMMY
4. AGORA
5. STARGATE
6. THE PRINCE OF EGYPT
7. JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT
I’m cheating a little with this one because this isn’t really a movie, but it is one of the greatest stories set mostly in Ancient Egypt and I just knew you’d be clamouring for its inclusion.
