Description:
In 1570 B.C., Rome was a marsh, the Acropolis an empty rock, but Egypt was 1,000 years old. The pyramid-builders were gone, yet Egypt still awaited its New Kingdom, an empire forged by conquest and remembered for eons. EGYPT'S GOLDEN EMPIRE comes to life through letters and records evoking the passion and riches of a time when Egypt was the center of the known world, its Pharaohs called gods, and great cities, temples and tombs built.

Rating: - Good Introductory Material
This DVD is a good introduction to the history of Egypt's New Empire period. Most of the interviewed scholars make insightful and accurate commentaries. The two exception I would point out to is when they speak of Pharaoh Akhenaten, of whom they present the conventional, questionable views of a fanatic, incompetent king; and secondly when they refer of the relationship between Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmosis III, attributing to the latter the erasing of the Queen's name and images from certain monuments ...
