00:00Out of the mists of time, out of the eternal sands, out of the living rock, out of the soul and sinew of thousands upon thousands of men,
00:13it rises from the desert's floor as the mightiest monument ever erected to the glory of one man, to inspire all men for all time.
00:30Egypt, 50 centuries ago, when her culture and civilization flourished in a setting of unequaled pomp and grandeur,
00:58when her proud legions had conquered all the world and plundered its treasure to feed the insatiable ambition of the greatest of all pharaohs, Khufu the Magnificent,
01:08a man of superhuman strength and courage, yet consumed by a fear so strange that he tried to conceal it beneath a massive man-made mountain of stone.
01:20On the sands of the desert, you will raise a pyramid, a structure greater than any other in the world.
01:28This pyramid shall be my resting place for the second life.
01:32From every corner of the land came teeming multitudes of workers, and then slaves and generations of slaves, to wrest the rock from the unyielding earth.
01:42While armies of wretched humanity suffered and died to haul their colossal burden across the desert to the river Nile,
01:49for the final journey to the mighty ramps that flanked the pyramid.
01:53But while three million stones were being welded together by time and toil, in the golden halls of the palace, another ageless story was being lived,
02:03by people whose lust and greed, love and hate, are forever embedded in every rock of the great pyramid.
02:11Vashtar, the captive who held the key to the mystery of the ages.
02:16Senta, who traded a pharaoh's ransom for the love of a slave girl.
02:21Nelifer, the faithless hostage whose beauty masked her sinful treachery.
02:26Hamar, who plotted time's strangest vengeance.
02:30And Khufu, the man who thought that he could conquer eternity.
02:41Don't ever do that again.
02:47Get me!
02:48What are you trying to tell me?
02:50The Queen Nyle must die.
02:53No. No, Nelifer.
02:54Look at me, Trenner.
02:55I'm afraid to. Afraid of what I see in your face.
02:58Look at me and choose.
03:00Either I am yours, and you help me, or I go on without you.
03:08Which is it to be?
03:11Why do you come and see me when the pharaoh is gone?
03:15Answer me!
03:16Oh, by the god, you shall answer to pharaoh when he returns.
