Product Description: "Old dried-out humanoids" are examined in this installment of the adventures of an alien craft's cleaning crew accidentally launched into space. After they land on an Egyptian pyramid (and then crashing down its side), Captain Rip Rayon beams aboard a treasure from a mummy's casket, thus bringing "a curse" to the cabin. In among the antics of the alien trio, some real data is doled out by their guide, a large suspended eye named Orb. She clues everyone in on mummy preparation (including kid-friendly yucky details, like the brains being broken up and extracted through the nose) and cultural background. The spaceship also visits the Inca Girl in Peru and a Siberian healer buried wearing a gold headdress, along with six horses. Throw in a camel lesson and you've got a fun video for grade school kids with just enough information to make Mom and Dad happy. --Kimberly Heinrichs
