Ancient Egyptians

The Priests Of Amun (1x3)

Air date: Jan 09, 2004

March 632 BC. In the temple of Teudjoi in Middle Egypt, a group of priests gather to plot a murder. For decades, they've suffered under the brutal reign of a powerful outsider, Petiese, the cousin of Egypt's new Pharaoh. Now the time has come for revenge against his unsuspecting family: his daughter, son-in-law and their two young boys. The story of this tragic family saga has survived for two and a half thousand years. Set against the backdrop of a nation in turmoil, it's the story of a thirty-year feud that tears apart a city and brings down one of the most powerful dynasties in Egypt.
