Gods in the Sky

Series 1 Episode 1
First Broadcast:

Professor Allan Chapman travels to Egypt, where he tells the story of the ancient astronomer priests and their over-sexed gods.

Visiting the pyramids and the Valley of the Kings, and aided by puppet animation, a man in a dodgy bird costume and with Sir Patrick Moore playing Ra, the Egyptian Sun God, Prof Chapman reveals how the star-gods helped us develop the 360° circle, the 12-month year, and the 24-hour day.
