No great civilization continues to speak to us like that of ancient Egypt. But what is it about this ancient civilization that still captures our imaginations? What made Egypt special, allowing it to grow, in Professor Bob Brier’s words, "from a scattering of villages across the Nile to the greatest power the world had ever seen"?
Professor Brier has designed this course to focus on the fascinating leaders of ancient Egypt. The information in this course is also covered in the course, The History of Ancient Egypt.

An Introduction to the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt

Kathryn Bard has authored the first history of ancient Egypt based primarily on archaeological data. She is well qualified to do this as a result of her major contributions as an archaeologist to understanding the development of the state in prehistoric Egypt and of Egyptian trading relations with sub-Saharan Africa, as well as her editing of the highly successful Encyclopedia of the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt.

This is the second exciting Mummy movie. Ten years after their last battle with Imhotep, Evelyn and Rick O’Connell are back in Egypt. It is the Year of the Scorpion and people in Egypt are afraid. Somebody has to kill the Scorpion King, or the world will end.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the first explorers traveled from Europe to the land of Egypt and searched for archaeological treasures along the banks of the Nile. But the realm of the pharaohs presented them with puzzling questions. Who were these rulers? Where did their immense riches come from? And why was so much of it lost to the sands of the desert? Discover the history, culture and key figures of ancient Egypt from its mere beginnings until its dramatic Roman conquest.
