How can you not end up in Egypt at some point? It has everything. Mysterious beginnings, buildings that defy any modern construction techniques, stories of mummies and tombs and curses.
ANCIENT takes us there. It starts out as a routine dig. The sort of thing that happens each year for university lecturers and their students. Most are happy if they find a two inch high statue of the cat god Bast. Not Peter Merchant. He’s put up with that for years knowing there was more until his brush uncovers … I’ll have to stop there or it’ll give away the story.
I personally think ancient Egypt was up to its neck with aliens. You only have to look at the paintings. Their artists were skilled. They knew what they were doing when they painted someone with blue or green skin or a birds head. Ahh, it’s symbolic say the experts. Or, they’re wearing ceremonial masks or makeup. Really? How do they know, where they there? Is it any more of a stretch to consider they weren’t native to earth? One thing is for sure, there are lots more questions than answers.
