well and i have read the book first and thought represent wow would this be cool to see in a movie and than i start search and find there be already a movie make of it . i buy the movie a week ago on dvd and watch it . they do it awfully wrong . at first this kid hapi and who isn not any character in the book and then the mix between the two book ( the river god and the seventh scroll ) than nicolas need fund while in the book he himself be actually the funder and the whole thing about the hyksos be wrong also . taila be suppose to have invent the lightweight chariot . the whole thing about the tomb be also very wrong . there be suppose to be a channel that have some kind of vacuum suction around it . the tomb itself be make in a maze with only a possibility to pass if one know the rule of the ancient boa game . there be nothing in the movie about nicolas be english and royan be a coptic christian in the book and not a muslim . this list be endless . there be only a few thing good about the movie and the actor which play royan and nahood and taita and boris and mick and tessay be well choose and the rest be just parody of the character in the book and rasfer be the bad and it do not get even close to the character that be in my head while i write the book . it be such a shame that such a great book be mutilate in such a bad reproduction . i wonder why wilbur smith ever give his permission for this .
