This introduction to the world’s first great civilization brings the ancient Egyptian alive through his own art and through his own art and through Philip Stapp’s inspired animation. Exciting tomb paintings, sculpture and artifacts illustrate his daily life and pleasures; how he ate and drank; how he hunted and raised food; his values, hopes and fears; his vision of the hereafter. Consultant: John Wilson, Oriental Institute, Chicago. Original score by Norman Lloyd. (1964 IFF catalog)
