Dr. Bob Brier brings Egypt back to life through the lives of these great Egyptian pharaohs. The entire course is engaging, easy to follow, and for those who are not familiar with Egypt - a great starting point to jump into different areas of study. From Narmer to Cleopatra, these ten pharaohs made great strides in history, leaving their mark - even if they were erased for a period of time by other pharaohs.
While we are getting highlights, there are so many different areas to jump into for research, and Dr. Brier truly knows his history. Loved this series!

Excellent primer before heading to Egypt. I love the professor’s voice and style. I’d love to listen again now that I’ve been.

Another great course!! I loved Bob Grier’s take on the various pharaohs he discussed, and how they contributed to their nation. It was less about the lore and more about the actual people. I leaned a lot from him!

As a doctor of American history, I know modern history, pretty well, and feel I understand the beats of how history is told. Occasionally, I wish I was a Classics person. This scratch is that it’s from a master; great course, truly.
