So, a summary would be nice, or even a little blurb of opinion?

It's better not to have an opinion on everything so people can judge for themselves

However her's a gross misstatement I noticed in the narration:
"And almost before you had a chance to settle down in your seat, find yourself looking at towering monuments to lost civilization built at least three hundred years before the both of Christ Egypt is indeed a land of surprises"

- at least three thousand year before christ !

Conflicting dates and time length for this Eugene Castle film

Land Of The Pyramids
1951
Sound: Silent
11:10


^ Here they say it is a silent film. That must be a mistake it has no sub-titles
Somebody could look at the airliner at the beginning and maybe identify it's true date but I think 1951 is correct
second source:

However some of the footage used could be 1940s
