Ancient Egypt

Discovering Lost Stories from Egyptian History

De: Matt Clayton

Narrado por: Colin Fluxman

Think you know ancient Egypt? You call them pharaohs, but did you know Egypt's early kings never used that word? The title "pharaoh" only emerged in the New Kingdom. Before that, the rulers of the Nile held a power and tradition far more intricate than commonly understood, viewed as both divine and mortal: they were builders, warriors, rebels, and visionaries.

This audiobook goes beyond the well-trodden tales of grand pyramids and Cleopatra's drama, digging deep into the secrets buried beneath centuries of sand and silence.

Inside, You'll Discover:

• The genius of Imhotep, the true architect behind the first pyramid.
• The forgotten king who audaciously claimed to consume gods.
• The chilling mystery of Cambyses’s lost army, vanished in the desert sands.
• The untold story of ancient artisans who painted tombs and dared to go on strike.
• The remarkable journey of a royal advisor who rose from common origins.
• The powerful Nubian kings who presided over Egypt in its final, glorious era.
• Gripping tales of rebellion, collapse, forgotten cities, and vanished gods.

This is a captivating narrative of survival, ambition, betrayal, and brilliance.

• Engaging and accessible, yet meticulously researched.
• Perfect for listeners craving fresh perspectives beyond the typical pyramid narratives.
• Essential listening for enthusiasts of history, archaeology, and genuine ancient intrigue.
