Karnak: A Hidden History

Synopsis
The temple at Karnak in Egypt, founded around 1500BC, was the greatest religious shrine of the ancient world, taking over 2000 years and the work of 80,000 people to complete. The mysteries of what went on behind its walls are investigated with the aid of computer reconstructions of the great pillared hall and film shot at various religions sites in Egypt.
