I developed this course specifically to help those who, like myself, have a strong desire to learn about ancient Egypt but not quite sure where to start.

We will go back thousands of years into the past, focusing on the land where the river Nile flows - Egypt. Go through the different dynasties that existed in the past. Learn about the mighty Pharaohs and their grand pyramids and temples, some of which are still standing down to this very day. Walk with me through the ancient Egyptians' daily lives!
