This MGM short film, part of
James A. FitzPatrick's Traveltalks series, visits ancient Egypt. Starting with the Valley of the Kings in a remote and desolate part of Egypt, the entrance to the tomb of King Tut is shown, though its priceless treasure is now in the Cairo museum. A visit to Luxor and the ancient city of Thebes, which date to 1500 BC, follows with a subsequent visit to Karnak. The film closes by noting that past and present are in harmony with the water wheel and village well still in wide use in the modern age.
