La princesse du Nil

An excellent 26-episode French animated TV series by Bernard Deyriès, produced in 1998 and broadcast in 1999 on FRANCE 2.

The series takes place during the reign of Ramses II, regent from 1279 BC to 1213 BC.

Princess Néteb, younger sister of Queen Nefertari, wife of Pharaoh Ramses II, and her friend Mérempah, a cadet at the Kep, investigate ancient Egypt.

Smooth animation, pleasant graphics and an interesting soundtrack. The scenarios are very well worked out, and the atmosphere is much more detailed than in the PAPYRUS series.

The target audience is not infantilized, and will appeal to teenagers and adults alike.

But coming from Bernard Deyriès, that's a guarantee of quality.

Once again, the episodes show great maturity, and to my knowledge, only one DVD box set is still available.
