Films can tell us alot about the country where they were made, what have you learned about a country from watching its movies?

Whaching some ancient Egytian movies gave me alot of information about ancient Egypt and some of the historic habits of that historic country such as the reason of construction of the piramids, the way of their fighting with enemies, and application of an odd method as aremedy.

Egyptian people believed that there would be an endless second life for each person after this life. That is, they were considering this life as a temporary stage that is given them to prepare themselves for primary life. As it is apparent from inscriptions of that period, the most important preparation for the primary life was to build a strong and durable grave for thamselves and saving some money to be paid after their death in order to making them mummy. Ofcourse kings because of their majesty were supposed to have terrific graves like piramids.

The other thing that I learned about Egypt is the way of fighting in ancient Egypt. That is, they were using a kind of wagon with two big wheels that was used to be pulled by a horse, moreover, a big blade was used to be fastened to each side of the wagon. With this structure, it used to be a very horrible device to fight.

Besides, when they got very sick and usual remedies was not profitable, They used to make a hole in their scull in order to remove toxic vapors from their head. With this cure, ofcurse, no one could survive with a hole in their scull, but may be it was a consequence of their religious believes.

To sum up, I learned some interesting informations from watching Egiptian movies and now I now why they built pyramids.
