The Tombs Of Egypt’s Greatest Kings | Immortal Egypt | Timeline

Joann explores the peak of ancient Egyptian civilisation by looking at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues depicting Pharaoh Amenhotep III, and examining the lives of the workers and artisans involved in the building of the Valley of the Kings. This golden age was threatened by the growing power of Karnak’s priests, and Joann reveals how Tutankhamen’s early death was a chance for Egypt to start afresh and rewrite history, but was undermined by decades of state-sanctioned looting of the tombs. 📺 It’s like Netflix for history...
