Egyptian Influences in Battlestar
Along with the Viper pilot helmets and a few other items - Battlestar has quite a few "Egyptian" influences to tie it into Earth's culture.
I was re-watching The Saga of Star World and noticed that on Caprica there are some pyramids!
Here is a screen cap:

I was watching the bonus features on the DVDs and they actually sent actors dressed like Adama, Apollo and Sernia to Egypt for these shots.
In fact the person portraying Serina is actually a young boy since it was not allowed to let a woman wear pants in their country.

You are correct...they didn't sent the actors...just the cloths...DOH! Regardless...those shots were of actual Egypt... 8)GoldCylon wrote:If I recall they sent the costumes not the actors, and used actors that were in country, but then I might not remember correctly after 31 years. That isn't a bounce item, just something I read in Star Log or something like that back in the production days.
