The Egyptian backdrop

The Egyptian 1954 Directed by Michael Curtiz

To Nefer, shameless temptress of Babylon, he surrendered his parents' hope of immortality!

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 he learns the answers to the questions he has sought since his birth.
