We know the cause of your pain. :) [/qb][/QUOTE]Zahi is definitely full of B.S. The film is listed as science fiction. What more needs to be said? No archaeologists I know of are up in arms about 300 being scientifically inaccurate, so why does he care so much about this? The story is loosely based on the events of the 18th dynasty in Egypt and doesnt claim to be an accurate recording of the events of that time period. Anyway, here is a trailer from the film: http://www.greykid.com/La_Reine_Soleil/ [b]I also wonder why this production is not getting more press play or airtime, especially here in America, especially since the artifacts from the 18th dynasty are currently here on tour.[/b] I definitely agree that this has nothing to do with a disagreement over historical accuracy, but with something else. After all, look at all the movies that have been made with Egyptian themes and Zahi has never protested before: "The Mummy", "The Mummy Returns", "Prince of Egypt", "Stargate" and so on. NOW all of a sudden he is upset..... After all Christian Jacq is well known for writing novels based on Egyptian history: http://www.alibris.com/search/search.cfm?qwork=3685338&matches=5&qsort=r [/qb][/QUOTE]Probably because it's French. Most foreign movies outside of a handful of big productions don't get much reception in America. [/QB][/QUOTE]
