Part two of my tribute to John Romer – Ancient Lives
Newsletter 57 Ancient Lives by John Romer – In these videos, made in 1984, John Romer explores the ruins of an ancient village near Thebes, where generations of artists and craftsmen built the royal tombs. We see details of how ordinary Egyptians lived in ancient Egypt; their loves, their quarrels and even their dreams.
We go inside the pharaohs’ tombs, meet the scribes, stonemasons, and high priests who presided over this city of the dead. We also find out about the secrets of the tomb raiders and the tricks used to frustrate them.
This four-part documentary series provides fascinating insights into the ancient Egyptian people.
