The City of the Pharaoh

Ideofact discusses The Lost City of DeMille and the work of documentary film-maker Peter Brosnan. This is my kind of archaeology.

Brosnan wanted to raise money to excavate the "Lost City of DeMille -- the massive Egyptian set that DeMille built in the California desert, then demolished once he was done shooting -- in order to keep rival companies from poaching his set. The demolished site is still there in the California desert, complete with five ton sphinxes, statues of Ramses, and what not.
