Ancient Egypt

With Ancient Egypt, we present you the story of a civilization that broke new ground in the fields of architecture, art, literature, politics and religion.

Ancient Egyptians founded the world's first nation-state. They built the pyramids with the concern of finding a cure for death. The Great Pyramid at Giza remained the tallest structure in the world for 4,400 years, until the Eiffel Tower was completed in 1889 AD. Queen Nefertiti played a role in the formation of ancient and modern understanding of beauty. King Akhenaton was the first to put forward the idea of monotheistic religion and the first to try to organize such a religion. An unknown author wrote a work surprisingly similar to Hamlet 3,500 years before Shakespeare. King Tutankhamun was buried in his tomb with a great treasure that has preserved its uniqueness to this day.

Toby Wilkinson tells this impressive story of one of the world's oldest civilizations in a very striking style, from Narmer, the founder of the First Dynasty, to the sad end of Cleopatra, the last ruler of the Macedonian dynasty.

"A masterful work that tells the history of the pharaohs in a very absorbing way."
Simon Sebag Montefiore, BBC
