   > In eighteenth-dynasty Egypt, Sinuhe, a poor orphan, becomes a brilliant   
   physician and with his friend Horemheb is appointed to the service of the new   
   Pharoah. Sinuhe's personal triumphs and tragedies are played against the   
   larger canvas of the    
   turbulent events of the 18th dynasty. As Sinuhe is drawn into court intrigues,   
   and bizarre secrets are revealed to him, he learns the answers to the   
   questions he has sought since his birth. Short on historical accuracy but   
   strong on plot and    
   characterization.

   tumultios part of ancient Egypt's history. Great sets and costuming. The   
   script is pretty good except at the end which has way to much Cristian   
   messaging.
