THE MYSTERY OF THE NILE اسطورة النيل

he Epic Story of the First Expedition Down The World's
Greatest and Deadliest River
"The Nile is the most magnificent river in the world. No other river can compare. And no other river in the world is as closely associated with a particular culture and society as is the Nile. Without the Nile there would be no Egypt, no pharaohs, no pyramids."

--Pasquale Scaturro, expedition leader


For thousands of years, man has been drawn to the Nile, known as "the Mt. Everest of rivers." The quest to find its source consumed early explorers from the ancient Egyptians to Napoleon to the legendary Sir Richard Burton and David Livingstone. Over the past century, dozens of explorers have attempted to run the mighty river in a single expedition, but all have failed. At least a dozen men died trying, and in recent years, three were shot, two drowned, and another simply disappeared. Astonishingly, this epic journey has eluded humankind for centuries—until now.

On April 28, 2004, two intrepid explorers—expedition leader Pasquale Scaturro and his partner Gordon Brown—became the first in history to conquer all 3,260 miles of the world's greatest river in a single descent from its source in the Ethiopian highlands to the Mediterranean Sea. For 114 days, the explorers and their crew faced nearly in-surmountable challenges as they made their way down the Blue Nile and Nile river in two rafts and a kayak, traversing three countries in some of the world's remotest regions. Deadly crocodiles and hippos, the world's most dangerous rapids, armed bandits, AK-47-toting militia, blinding sandstorms, exposure to malaria, and the relentless heat of the fierce desert sun are just some of the obstacles they faced—all while documenting their epic journey with an IMAX® camera and two videocams.

The story of this remarkable adventure is the subject of a new large format film, MYSTERY OF THE NILE, from Orbita Max and Academy Award®-nominated filmmakers MacGillivray Freeman Films, due in IMAX® theatres and other large format cinemas on February 18, 2005. Directed and written by Spanish filmmaker Jordi Llompart in his large
