Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egypt introduces the civilisation that developed along the Nile and follows its history through the major dynastic periods. It explains the role of pharaohs, temples, pyramids, religion, burial practices and Egyptian mythology, while also considering everyday society and the political importance of the river valley. Famous rulers and figures, including Tutankhamun and Cleopatra, are placed within the much longer history of Egyptian kingship and changing relations with neighbouring powers.
