History introduces Instant Expert, an exciting new line of titIes offering on-the-spot knowledge to students and IifeIong learners on a wide variety of topics.
Long before the Romans built their first mud huts, ancient Egypt's mighty pharaohs began commissioning and buiIding monumentaI masterpieces whose scaIe, beauty, and sophistication stilI boggle the mind. Through cutting-edge digital graphics and interviews with noted EgyptoIogists, Egypt explores the civiIization's awe-inspiring engineering accomplishments, chronicIing the pharaohs and feats that helped buiId the worId's fist superpower. As Egypt's pharaohs conquered and ceded vast expanses of Iand, they pushed their royal architects to stretch the boundaries of imagination and human potentiaI. History folIows their empire's development, from the First Dynasty of 3000 BC through the last days of the reign of Ramses the Great in 1212 BC, from dazzling obeIisks to the Great Pyramid of Giza. Hosted by actor and art historian Peter WeIler. |
