:45:00
When I saw the stones
going up the hill,
:45:02
it really looked like
ancient Egypt.
:45:04
So this is a huge pay off
and to have Zahi's stamp
:45:07
of approval is a big,
big relief.
:45:12
But more than stone was moved
to build the pyramids
:45:15
20,000 laborers
:45:17
traveled to the isolated Giza plateau.
:45:20
How they got here
might surprise you.
:45:26
Four thousand years ago,
:45:27
the pyramids weren't
surrounded by desert.
:45:30
The Egyptians built harbors
and canals that brought
:45:32
the Nile deep into the
Giza plateau.
:45:35
We can imagine,
back 4,600 years ago,
:45:41
Cheops building his pyramid,
:45:43
what he did
he cut this harbor,
:45:46
and the harbor was
connecting with the Nile.
:45:49
The harbor was used every morning
:45:51
when the workmen are coming.
:45:53
Everyone is holding his lunch
and coming,
:45:57
and coming in boats, and
:45:59
they work here and building
:46:01
the pyramid from the sunrise
to the sunset.
:46:07
Bringing that ancient harbor
to life will be
:46:09
one of the most difficult tasks
the crew undertakes
:46:13
but Bruce wants
the scene on film.
:46:19
All the modern tools
are employed-extras across
:46:21
the river are cued
by walkiee-talkie...
:46:25
and even the sailboat
has a motor hidden from view.
:46:29
Duck out, man!
:46:32
Turnover! Roll it
:46:34
please turning, turning, turning.
:46:37
But nothing goes as planned
:46:39
the wind won't cooperate
:46:40
and the Nile's current forces
the boat backwards.
:46:48
Oh, man-collision!
:46:51
What was done with ease
over 4,000 years ago
:46:54
may be too much to
accomplish this day.
