I have been watching this show on the television. It is quite informative and they do a great job. Except the Darnells our house would be much happier if there was less of them. They spend too much time posing for the camera and not enough time sharing information, particularly the wife. Hieroglyphs 101 teaches you to read them right to left. So we cringe every time she reads things left to right. Which is more often than not. The worst part, they are supposed to be the hieroglyphics experts.

I wouldn't trust National Geographic on Egypt: they are too conservative, hidebound, and close-minded. I like the Gaia network for information on Egypt. National Geographic is too traditional: they are dinosaurs.
