HC Foot Soldier - The Egyptians (1998)

For 3,000 years, the Egyptians commanded one of the greatest empires ever seen. At the heart of that empire was the world's first organized army. And the lifeblood of that army were the foot soldiers, men who did the pharaoh's bidding and so helped build a kingdom that stretched from the Nile Valley across the Middle East. FOOT SOLDIER: THE EGYPTIANS is a fresh, vibrant look at what life was like in the pharaohs' army. Ancient accounts from Egypt and its enemies reveal how they fought, and dramatic re-enactments bring their great battles to life. More than a dry chronicle of battles and borders, FOOT SOLDIER reveals the day to day realities of life for these ancient warriors. What did they do when they weren't fighting? How did they protect the borders and guard conquered territory? The latest archaeological evidence, computer reconstructions, ancient art and modern theories combine to create an entertaining and illuminating look at the men who made up the world's first army. Narrated by Home Improvement's Richard Karn.
