A fresh appraisal of Egyptian temples, seen through the eyes of gods who arrived 12,000 years ago

Ancient Egyptians saw the course of stars change direction four times, experienced the Earth rotating backwards, and the Sun setting in the part of the sky where it rises today: twice. This alone places their culture in a remote age. But who started it and when?

Perhaps the most influential of texts is found in the temple of Edfu. It describes gods called Shining Ones, Followers of Horus arriving from a remote island to the south just as an ice age is consuming much of the Earth.

Seen through their eyes and a multi-disciplinary lens, this original 3-part series tells the story behind the extraordinary civilization they created, the purpose of the monuments, and how the aim of the entire enterprise was, in their words, nothing less than the rebuilding of the former world of the gods.
