Judith Egerton, Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)
It's a visually appealing but basic introduction to ancient Egyptian culture.

Gregory Weinkauf, New Times
Nice.

Linda Cook, Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
What else would you expect from National Geographic but a rich tapestry of history that's unfolded right before your eyes?

Herb Lash, Big Movie Zone
Mysteries of Egypt proves once again that the next best thing to experiencing the real thing is an Imax film.
-
Ross Anthony, Hollywood Report Card
Overall, a decent 1970's style documentary, but this archeological film barely scratches the surface of the sweeping IMAX potential.
