This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Lets say I am not the greatest Dr. Zahi Hawass fan - I find he conveniently forgets a lot about what the Egyptians did to their own antiquities (burn mummies for fuel for example), when he talks about how other countries have raped Egypt.That said, I love Egyptology and am pretty much up for watching anything to do with the subject.This however was just awful - from the start you could tell it was faked, half the people couldn't act their way out of paper bag, and they just did things that you knew people just wouldn't do.After the first 20 mins I have to admit I just couldn't watch any more and switched it off.I know films like Cloverfield, and Paranormal Activity have been very popular (I hated both of these two by the way), so I guess it was only a matter of time before we started to see these mockumentaries

I read all the reviews about 'chasing mummies' and it lead me to want to find out for myself what others had written about, I have to say the program is as what other reviews say, it's complete rubbish! If I were in charge to make the decisions for programs to be aired on the history channel then 1.I wouldn't have given this program the time of day and 2.If I had (and clearly someone has) then I would expect the powers that be to ask me for my resignation. I lasted more than most with about 15 minutes of viewing time, I found it too scripted and the 'acting' too unbelievable to warrant this program as a 'documentary'. I would have to say the program 'Big Brother' has better actors than in this program, needless to say if you want to take a look and see for yourselves then so be it, be warned though as you'll be disappointed.

I loathed this staged platform for a ridiculous narcissist so much that I registered on this site in order to leave the first review of my 50 years.This program isn't just a waste of time--it's an offense. There's only a fragment of archeology, the vast majority of the show is devoted to providing a stage for a ... I'm kind of at a loss for a description for this pompous, arrogant, self-aggrandizing nincompoop's arrogant tantrums.I vow to never, ever contaminate my television screen with this excuse for entertaining educational program again.

I too looked forward to this show, but couldn't watch more than 10 minutes. Hawas is an idiotic bully who should never work with live people (actors or not). He will destroy archaeological aspirations for many! Most of us are aware of his "taking credit" where it is not due him. Not just in the "finds", but in reading hieroglyphs: reading from left to right although they are written from right to left. His grandstanding could almost be tolerated if not for the deceptive showing to the public of "facts". I'm not just angry but disappointed that such a low-grade show is on the History Chanel. I'm grateful for all the honest, intelligent and hardworking archaeologists who share their love and dedication to Egyptian History. Hawas is NOT one of them.
