A great overview of the great leaders of this most ancient of empires. Bob Brier delivers a captivating and entertaining insight into the mysteries and facts surrounding these important figures of the ancient past who added so much to civilization that lives on today, Remarkable. ( ) Some interesting history here, and a number of rabbit holes that were interesting and well worth the trip. My biggest complaint is that this was a very surface-level overview that ended far too soon. I would have like it to be three times longer and dealt at a much greater depth with its fascinating subjects. I did enjoy the archaeological and architectural insights proffered along the way, but I wanted more. Dr. Brier is an excellent raconteur.

HTML: What is it about ancient Egypt that still captures our imaginations? How did it grow from a few villages along the Nile into the greatest power the world had ever seen? Explore these questions and more in these 12 entertaining lectures that tell the stories of the great pharaohs and the daily realities of Egyptian life. By recounting the lives and accomplishments of the men and women who made Egypt such a captivating civilization, Professor Brier presents a history of ancient Egypt that spans more than 30 centuries and introduces you to the personalities who made Egypt the greatest nation of the ancient world. Among other things, you'll study: The "Narmer Palette," the first historical document, whose images of Narmer's traditions would endure for 3,000 years; Sneferu, who taught Egypt how to perfect the pyramid, a structure whose origins lay in the need to protect desert graves from exposure by the wind; the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb, which is the most scrutinized episode in the history of Egyptology; and Cleopatra, the enigmatic Grecian ruler who learned Egypt's language and tried to resurrect both the nation's religion and greatness. Cleopatra's valiant efforts to save Egypt, with the aid of Julius Caesar and, afterward, with Marc Antony, were doomed. Egypt, no longer a nation, would become a Roman province. But the civilization's fascinating story would live on for thousands of years. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
