Trivia:
This film is based on the novella of the same name by Romanian author Mircea Eliade.
A whole 162 hours of footage was shot, making the shoot-to-final-film ratio 80:1.
A variety of languages are spoken in the film: English, French, Italian, Mandarin, German, Russian, Latin, Armenian, Sanskrit, Egyptian (not Arabic), Babylonian and a little Romanian. The ancient Sanskrit, Egyptian and Babylonian are authentic, researched in ancient texts and manuscripts by a team of expert linguists. The film also includes an artificial, "made-up" language, done with such integrity that it could provide the rudimentary basis of a new language.
