La Princesse du Nil is an animated series. Set during the time of Pharaoh Ramses II, it follows the adventures of Queen Nefertari’s little sister, Neteb, and her friend Merempah. Each episode finds the teenagers involved in plots wrought against the Pharaoh of Egypt, as they try to unravel these plots. The series draws on the mysteries of ancient Egypt and offers an mix of adventure and romance.
Production[]
The show was pitched by then-president and CEO of Marina Production Claude Berthier, after taking a vacation tour of Egypt, struck by the images and symbolism of the ancient civilization.
During production, Berthier ordered that steps be taken to eliminate creative similarities between the show and Papyrus, another Egyptian-themed French series produced during that time.[3]
Broadcast history[]
The show premiered on France 2 in the fall of 1999.[4]
