Egypt is a country in the northeastern part of Africa and on the Sinai Peninsula with a population of about 80 million people. In the north, Egypt is washed by the waters of the Mediterranean, in the east - by the Red Sea. Both seas are connected by the artificially constructed Suez Canal. Ninety-five percent of Egypt's area is desert, and the majority of Egypt's population lives on five percent of the fertile soil mainly along the banks of the Nile River. Egypt is one of the most ancient civilizations with more than six thousand years of history. The remains of ancient civilizations, great pyramids, mysterious temples, and richest museums always attracted foreigners.

Ancient Egypt was one of the most miraculous civilizations to ever exist on planet Earth. There was nothing quite like this glimmering society adjacent to the Nile River in North Africa that reigned for 30 centuries, and there might never be again. Without Ancient Egypt and the many innovations of their culture — linguistics, architecture, art, religious rituals, philosophy and so on — modern society would not be what it is today; for instance, the ancient Greeks used ancient Egypt as the genesis for their world. The films in this list all pay homage to ancient Egypt, but ironically often with a focus on the biblical Book of Exodus, since that is the story from which all Western monotheistic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—derive, and which so much of Hollywood has been preoccupied with since the beginning of cinematic history. This silent classic was directed by Ernst Lubitsch in Germany before he fled the Nazis and established himself as a prominent Hollywood director.
