It's not a great film, but if you know the history behind it, it's worth a viewing nonetheless... Ironically, one of the historically accurate scenes in the film that caused people then to "dismiss" it, is the one showing the physicians of the time doing brain surgery. (Just one of the many surprising things the ancient Egyptians did, and with amazing success.) ...
