Paal_101 Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Did anyone watch Ancient Egyptians on TLC last night (Monday) and Sunday? The first episode on the Battle of Megiddo was MINDBLOWNG!!!! When they had the armies lined up against eachother I was totally convinced I was there, plus when the Egyptians and Syrians charged at eachother with that huge panoramic aerial view of the battlefield I started wondering "This is a documentary and not LoTR?!" It has to be the best battle recreation I have seen outside of the cinema, just thousands of guys in several shots. The reenacting for all of the episodes was just superb, the best I have ever seen! If it comes on again and you missed it, watch it, you'll be blown away!What did you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun 144 Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Well I didn't see that show, I was watching a special on the Samurai on History Channel. However I do like Ancient Egypt and if that show comes on again I am defenity gonna watch it. I imagine from your words Paal that the battle scene will indeed blow me away(and I am not easily impressed or blown away) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Did "Ancient Egyptians" use CGI for the battle scenes or the old fashion actual footage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paal_101 Posted December 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 It seemed to be a mixture of footage and CGI, but the CGI is so good it was very hard to tell who was real and who wasn't. The vistas that could be seen were really something, IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
