"Maybe it wasn't generally picked up because it's not common knowledge when people think of things that are distinctly Ancient Egyptian, but the war with Nubia was based on truth."
I get that much. But what about something Egyptian in the sets, costumes, score, etc. Other than the "eye", the princess hat and an occasional triangular shape, there really wasn't anything Egyptian about the show other than references in dialogue which seemed completely out of place given the costumes and set design, so why even bother wth the scenes in the museum? It was as if the producers deliberately kept the designers from communicating with each other until opening night.
