Weak Sause

I have more questions then answers about this whole story after watching How and why did the pyramid get lost?Who was Huni and why was he important?Why are these finds important other then to stroke the ego of the main guy?There was a lot of info squished into the documentary that should have been explained better.Also it turned me off right at start when he complained about "foreigners" if it wasn't for these foreigners there would be no Egyptologist or frankly many digs as they finance most of them There are more then a few scenes where its all about him and his legacy then about what they found.Would never watch a documentary featuring this guy again.

I thought this was supposed to be about historical egypt

This isn't about Egypt and her historical mysteries. It's about her extremely egotistical head of antiquities Dr Zahi Hawass. He's absolutely insufferable. I understand having pride in your nations history however his way of going about it is more about him and his love for himself than the good of Egyptian archaeology. He is the extreme opposite of early archaeology, the era of foreign excavators. He hogs everything for himself and refuses to work with others. He needs to find a middle ground and stop making it the Hawass show. Egypt deserves better than him. The world deserves better.Besides Hawaas and the obviously staged aspects of the show it does let you glimpse into the beauty that is and was Egypt. For that it gets 4 stars.

Not much on history

More so in story, and very dramatically "acted." They should really make a documentary on the lives of these egyptologists, but not call this a documentary on the lost pyramid and then just ramble on and on about the people that work these sites.Let me clear this up, if you had made a documentary on their lives and the ways egyptologist work, and how difficult it has been to get a foot hold in a foreign space of study, fine, set the documentary as that.If you're going to market this as the history of Huni and his lost pyramid talk about that.Doing both made it slow on history, and not interesting on the story of their work. Besides that, the "speeches" they make with each artifact, what for? "I felt like I was thousands year ago..." (or something like that) Well, I bet, it is a tomb, from a thousand years ago, not a coffee shop.
