Acerca de esta escucha

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 Among other things, you'll study: The "Narmer Palette," the first historical document, whose images of Narmer's traditions would endure for 3,000 years; Sneferu, who taught Egypt how to perfect the pyramid, a structure whose origins lay in the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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

I wish this lecture would keep going, it was incredibly captivating and informative. Bob Brier is passionate about what he’s teaching and that just makes it a fantastic listen.

Too short!

Instead of teaching dates ("which everybody forgets anyway") prof. Briar shows lives of rulers who made Egypt great.

Although it's impossible to tell 3000+ years of Egypt in 12 lectures he fills the gaps between the kings so you get an overall picture of the whole history, not just disjointed figures.

His knowledge is obviously vast but so is his skill as a storyteller. He makes dry history an emotional journey into lives of kings, what kind of people they were, not just what they'd done and it left me with a feeling of intimacy with Ancient Egypt, much more than I expected when I started the course.

It's a great primer into Ancient Egypt and now I think I'm ready for the full 48-lectures course by the same professor.

Listen to it. You won't regret.

A marvelous, marvelous course!

If you could sum up Great Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt in three words, what would they be?

Bob Brier's got an affable manner and he really knows his stuff, he's a great tale teller, lecturer this is basic introductory material, and should be pretty much de rigueur for anyone who's interested in the Pharaonic timeline. This is a great place to start.

Great narration, one small complaint, the awful trumpeting fanfare they play at the beginning of every 35 minute lecture. Too loud and too raucous, overwrought. I'm laying in bed, not attending a Jousting match.

Otherwise this series is fine.

Bob Brier all day every day...

I loved listening to both of his lectures. He presents so much information keeping you interested. You can just feel his passion!

My daughter is studying Egypt in second grade and she loved listening to his lectures. She oils even pick this over music.

I have listened to the original 48 lecture version of these lectures and decided to try this "summarized" version which was exactly what I needed to brush up on my ancient history. I love Prof. Bob's lecture style, his theories, explanations, emphasis on humanity, which makes you think about ancient times in a more personable manner. Definitley recommend this book for those who are trying to get an idea of what 3500 years of ancient egyptian history entailed.

Amazing

I was blown away by how entertaining and instructive this lecture series was. I have learned a ton about ancient Egyptian but feel like I was read an amazing bed time story.

The instructor walks you through history not by dates and facts but by stories and giving color to the absolutely fascinating history and leaders spanning 3000 years.

I would recommend this to anyone.

Incredibly well done
