The Temple

Episode 4 of 13

From the 1972 Tutankhamun Exhibition at the British Museum, Cyril Aldred presents a programme on some of the most spectacular buildings in the world - the temples of ancient Egypt.

Along the banks of the Nile stand some of the most spectacular buildings in the world - the temples of ancient Egypt. The great gateway of the temple at Edfu is higher and wider than the facade of St Paul's Cathedral, and at Karnac, man is dwarfed by the forest of vast columns in the main hall. Introduced by Cyril Aldred from the 1972 Tutankhamun Exhibition at the British Museum.
