Gods of Egypt

Synopsis

This original documentary series is a journey through time and space from the origins of Egyptian mythology to the multiverse of contemporary popular imagination. A dream team of leading Egyptologists guides us through Ancient Egypt’s founding myths, retracing the adventures of supernatural beings such as Ra, Isis, Osiris, Seth, Horus and many more. We discover not only how these figures are as fascinating today as they were 4,000 years ago, but also how they can be considered on par with all modern “super-heros with super-problems stories”.

What does the god Ra have to do with the Force that powers the Star Wars universe? What do the great sorceress Isis and Wanda the enchantress of the Avengers have in common?

In each episode, a particular archaeological discovery is explored in depth, recounted by the archeological teams involved in the findings, thus adding a new piece to that complex cultural puzzle in which art, storytelling and spirituality meet.

The series satisfies the need of the experienced and passionate viewer but also represents an ideal access point for young viewers who would like to discover the “multiverse” of Egyptian mythology and its many connections with contemporary popular imagery.
