Pyramid

How new archaeological research transforms our understanding of the Great Pyramid of Giza

The Twelve Dreams Of The Sun was a concert held by musician Jean Michel Jarre on the Pyramids of Giza, Egypt starting on December 31, 1999 and carrying overnight to January 1, 2000. It was attended by 120,000 people. The concert consisted of two parts, the Main Concert and a Sunrise Concert. The concert cost approximately $9,500,000 and it originated when Jean-Michel Jarre was contacted by the Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak with a special project to celebrate the dawn of the new Millennium at the foot of the only remaining monument of the original 7 Wonders of the World - the Great Pyramids. Jarre's team had developed giant projections to be displayed on the faces of the Great Pyramids, however a heavy cloud of fog made the pyramids almost invisible, so most of the projections were discarded. Parts of the concert were broadcast live on TV stations around the world.

A documentary about a newly discovered phenomenon: The Valley of the Bosnian Pyramids. In 2005 five pyramids have been discovered there, in Visoko; a little town in Central Bosnia. According to many scientists and researchers this Valley and its Pyramids have the potential to be an archeological site of the greatest mystery and biggest discovery of our century. This movie tells the story through the in-depth opinions, knowledge, and experience of Dr Semir Osmanagic (the principal investigator and anthropologist in the discovery of the pyramids), other scientists, volunteers, and local people. The story goes that one ancient civilization built the pyramids, another one preserved them by filling them in, and a third one is now excavating them.

In this exciting documentary you'll join a small team to the Bosnian city of Visoko. They've heard of a man called Semir 'Sam' Osmanagich. He claims to have discovered huge old pyramids, a vast network of underground tunnels and an ancient tumulus. For four and a half days he guided our team around, in search of proof of his claims. The Bosnian Indiana Jones, as Osmanagich is nicknamed, promised to show our camera crew the best places. So it would be definitive once and for all that there really are pyramids in the Bosnian Visoko valley. But are there? Or is it the biggest hoax in history?

How did ancient Egyptians build the Great Pyramid at Giza, joining two million blocks of heavy stone with amazing precision? Who were the leaders who built these enormous structures, and what did these tombs signify? Host David Macaulay explores the history, mythology, and religions of Egypt's people, combining live footage and animation. Take a rare look at the mummy of Ramses II and buried treasure in the sacred Valley of the Kings.

Since the beginning of time, man has emphasized his power by building monuments. None of the world's structures inspires as much admiration as the pyramids. Pyramids - in the deserts of Egypt and the Middle East, in the jungles of Mexico and in the American prairies - were built of stone as tombs of rulers or places of sacrificial rituals. They are silent witnesses of bygone times and extinct civilizations of antiquity. The secret of the construction of the Egyptian pyramids in Giza, the Aztec Pyramid of the Sun in Mexico, the Mayan pyramids as a reminder of bloody rituals, the ziggurats in Babylonia - all this in the British documentary PYRAMIDS from the series MYSTERIES OF THE ANCIENT AGE.

Mit Pyramiden is a film about Egypt. About Cairo, about the people there, the streets, the history of the country, the sounds, the light, about the colours, the religions, the sand, the pyramids. I see and I hear. Cars honking, cars standing around everywhere, people in long clothes, including men.

Hamas have just won the Palestinian elections and a chocolate bar in a Rotterdam hotel room eventually reminds the filmmaker that there are more important things going on in the world outside. Exactly one year later he returns to the same city and checks in at a very different hotel.
