Ancient Egypt - land of the pharaohs and pyramids. Full of secrets, incredible treasures and dark stories. The Nile is still Egypt's lifeline today. The Egyptians have been planting fields in the fertile mud it leaves behind every year after the flood for over six thousand years. Their advanced civilization lasted for more than 3500 years. The pharaohs ruled there as god-kings. They had pyramids and temples built, the remains of which we can still marvel at today. Their rediscovery sparked a real Egyptomania in the 19th century. And not all of the secrets have been solved yet. What did the ancient Egyptians believe in? Who is Akhenaten? And what is behind the pyramids? Join Mirko on a journey to the land on the Nile. 00:00 Intro 00:43 The beginning 03:06 The Pharaoh 05:28 Hatshepsut 07:01 Akhenaten 09:19 Temples 12:01 Pyramids Literature: Hermann Schlögl, Ancient Egypt, Munich 2019.
