    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Filming in Egypt included views of the exterior and interior of Abu Simbel. The view also includes the Nile river in the background of one shot. The filming location is no longer accessible having been buried under Lake Nasser with the building of the Aswan dam. The massive complex was cut into large blocks and moved uphill between 1964-1968 to save it from being flooded.

      The use of the word "corn" is not an anachronism. Corn was a common term for wheat in the Old World, centuries before Columbus. Native American maize was called "corn" by the Europeans because it was a familiar term for this new staple grain. Even today corn is used to refer to crops such as wheat and barley in British Common Wealth areas of the world. In America all of these would be referred to as "grain".
    • Quotes
      • Mark Brandon: You know what they say: Egypt is like a man without a woman.
      • Ann Barclay Mercedes: Why do they say that?
      • Mark Brandon: Hot by day, cold by night.
    • Crazy credits
      [Prologue] The earth holds few treasures which have stimulated man's imagination -- and his greed -- as much as the tombs of the rulers of ancient Egypt, the Pharaohs.

      This is the story of the search for the most fabulous tomb of them all. It begins near Cairo in 1900 . . .
