[edit] Information

Monumental in scale and sophisticated in design, the engineering triumphs of the ancient Egyptians still inspire awe to this day. This in-depth National Geographic special explores how two of Egypt's mightiest pharaohs—Khufu and Ramses II—built their way to immortality.

From the colossal Great Pyramid of Giza to the stunning, rock-carved temples of Abu Simbel, Engineering Egypt provides an extraordinary new perspective on the history, passion and purpose behind an ancient people's quest to achieve the most daring dream of all: eternal life.

Entre los mayores monumentos del antiguo Egipto figuran la Gran Piramide de Gizeh y los impactantes templos de Abu Simbel. Levantados hace mas de 3000 a. por Keops, el gran soberano del Imperio Antiguo, y por Ramases II, el faraon conquistador del Imperio Nuevo, manifiestan el inmenso poder del pais del Nilo y hablan de su fascinante religion. Este documental revive, con la ayuda del diseno grafico, la construccion de los mas prodigiosos edificios de Egipto.
