※ This video is part of the <Documentary Prime - Human Civilization Exploration Part 2 Egyptian Civilization> broadcast on August 2, 2011. Egypt, located at the dead end of the Mediterranean Sea, connecting the Middle East and Africa. A splendid civilization sprouted there 5,000 years ago. The Egyptian civilization left behind relics and artifacts that are so familiar to us, such as pyramids, sphinxes, and hieroglyphs. The reason the Egyptian civilization that developed around the Nile River shines even more is because it was a civilization that blossomed in the desert. In order to survive in the barren desert, they acquired wisdom, and architecture and mathematics were highly developed. Ancient Egypt, which rarely experienced invasions from foreign nations due to its closed regional conditions, was able to leave behind a splendid civilization. Now, we invite you to the mystery of the ancient Egyptian civilization 5,000 years ago. 'The lifeline of Egyptian civilization, the Nile River' The river of life that flows in the middle of the desert. The Nile River is the lifeline that gave birth to the ancient Egyptian civilization. The Greek philosopher Herodotus called Egypt the 'gift of the Nile River'. The annual flooding of the Nile River was a disaster, but the ancient Egyptians found wisdom in it. They created the Nilometer to predict the water level of the Nile River, which occurs periodically, and were the first in human history to develop a method to measure land where boundaries had collapsed. What does the Nile River mean to people living in Egypt today? The reporting team met farmers who farm near the river and asked them about the meaning of the Nile River. They also met people crossing the desert and rode camels, which are called ships of the desert, showing that ancient Egypt was a representative commercial city. 'The Legacy of Egyptian Civilization That Surprises Even Modern Science' The pyramids, Sphinx, and various temples including Abu Simbel, which are known as the best structures in Egypt, are comparable to modern buildings. The Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The pyramids built by the Pharaohs clearly show the society and influence of the Pharaohs at the time. A mummy discovered in a tomb. The reporting team vividly used computer graphics to create a method of making a mummy that has been preserved despite the passage of time. Why, how, and how long did they take to build such a huge civilization 5,000 years ago? The excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb tells us that Egypt was a golden empire at the time. Goldsmithing is still famous in Egypt. We interviewed a goldsmith who has been working for 32 years. 'Ancient Egyptians, Awakening through Murals' The key to solving the mystery that has not yet been solved is contained in the tomb murals and hieroglyphs. Ancient Egyptian murals depict the people of the time with photographic precision. The murals show scenes of labor, the achievements of the pharaohs, and battle scenes, allowing us to learn about their lifestyles. The reporting team restored the tomb murals of ancient Egyptian high officials Sennefer and Rekhmir using computer graphics, inviting viewers to explore the civilization of ancient Egyptians 5,000 years ago. ✔ Program name: Documentary Prime - Human Civilization Exploration Part 2 Egyptian Civilization ✔ Broadcast date: 2011.08.02 #GolladyeonDocumentary #DocumentaryPrime #AncientCivilization #Egypt #Ancient #Documentary #Documentary #History
