If you loved Riddle of the Sphinx, and want to experience more of ancient Egypt up close and personal, without taking that long, hot expensive journey, you’ll love the Ancient Egypt show now playing at IMAX theaters. I just heard about it last night, and went right over to my local IMAX theater.
What a great show! If you loved ROTS, you’ll recognize most of those ancient sites right away, and you’ll feel like you’ve been there. You’ll “know” where all the hidden passageways and ladders and ramps are — where to find those elusive weights for the balance puzzle, how to scramble up to the top of those huge statues at Abu Simbel for the magnificent panoramic view (and an all-important clue), what’s behind (and scratched on to) the scaffold at the side of the Sphinx, and just how to get around in that maze of tunnels in the great Pyramid!
IMAX takes you to all these familiar places and more, on a screen 6 stories high and 70 feet wide. It’s well worth the time, effort and the price of admission to take a break from your computer screen for a really fantastic look at this big-screen treat!
Plus, you’ll appreciate all the more just how faithfully these landmarks were portrayed in ROTS. Truly amazing how they seamlessly melded the real ancient Egypt sites with the fanciful elements. You almost can’t tell where reality in ROTS leaves off and the imaginary takes over.
