Ancient Egypt: The Complete History | From the First Pharaoh to Cleopatra

The complete story of ancient Egypt in one documentary — from the first farmers on the Nile and King Narmer to the pyramids, Hatshepsut, Akhenaten, Tutankhamun, Ramesses the Great and Cleopatra, and how the writing of the pharaohs was finally read again. We answer the questions people ask most: How were the pyramids really built? Who built them? Why did the Egyptians make mummies? How did ordinary Egyptians live? And how did ancient Egypt finally come to an end? This video is made for educational and historical purposes. Dates in ancient Egyptian history are approximate, and where historians still debate a point, we say so. Narration: AI voice. CHAPTERS 0:00 Introduction 0:56 1. The Gift of the Nile 3:09 2.
