REVIEWS
In this DVD, Derek travels to Egypt to give a Paranormal slant to ancient history and mystery.
He visits the tourist trail,the Sphinx, the Pyramids,
Saqqara, even Tutankhamen gets a mention.
I really enjoyed this DVD. Derek does his usual stuff of 'channelling' spirits,and a lot of the information he divulges is already well known, but it doesn't
matter: it is all still interesting.
Away from 'Most Haunted', Derek isn't so frenetic and 'obliged' to find paranormal activity.It wouldn't be a Derek Acorah production without a 'possession' in very show and you still get that on this DVD, leading to some very funny moments when he scares the pants off his co-host who-happily-doesn't scream as much as Yvette Fielding and is therefore less irritating. She proves a good sidekick to Derek as they progress around Ancient Egypt.
There are interesting history and facts, lovely photography and the appearance of the eminent
Zawi
Hawass, a luminary of Egyptology, which gives this DVD a certain gravitas.
Mi piace Derek Acorah: umile, impegnato e concentrato a riportare alla luce avvenimenti ormai dimenticati nelle nebbie del tempo. Ci si appassiona e si diventa grandi fans. In questa serie ho notato come l'atteggiamento incredulo degli esperti egiziani sia passato dall' ironia divertita ad una aperta ammirazione nei confronti di questo grande medium. Infatti eventi storici rimasti sino ad allora senza risposte, hanno ricevuto plausibili spiegazioni durante le comunicazioni di Derek. Spero che la giornalista Tessa Dunlop e Derek Acorah indaghino ancora in antichi siti archeologici con la loro splendida equipe.
J'avais acheté ce coffret dvd par pur curiosité, c'est intéressant. Derek Acorah (qui avait participer a l'émission Most Haunted) et Tessa Dunlop nous fond voyager dans l'Égypte du temps des pharaons et des pyramides. En 8 épisodes.
