Colossal pyramids, imposing temples, golden treasures, enigmatic hieroglyphs, powerful pharaohs, strange gods, and mysterious mummies are features of Ancient Egyptian culture that have fascinated people over the millennia. The Bible refers to its gods, rulers, and pyramids. Neighboring cultures in the ancient Near East and Mediterranean wrote about its god-like kings and its seemingly endless supply of gold. The Greeks and Romans describe aspects of Egypt's culture and history.

TOP REVIEWS FROM WONDERS OF ANCIENT EGYPT
Absolutely great course, by an expert in his field, dr. David Silverman.
Only minor downside of this great course was the fact, that the credits at the end of each clip was taking very long.
This is a very interesting and enjoyable course, and an excellent companion to Professor Silverman's first course, Introduction to Ancient Egypt and its Civilization.
Interesting course although I was expecting more discussions on the actual wonders instead of an introduction to the art, religion, language and history of ancient egypt.
This was an excellent followup course on Egypt for me. I found it very indepth and the professor was very cleaer in his presentations and the audiovisuals were awesome! Thank u so much!
