Hosted by actor and art historian Peter Weller, this feature-length special premieres just before the new weekly series from The History Channel, "Engineering An Empire."

Through cutting-edge digital graphics and countless interviews with noted Egyptologists, The History Channel chronicles the pharaohs and feats that brought forth the world's very first superpower.
