Description

The Egyptians have been keeping historical records of their rulers to the year since 1991 BCE and in approximate time before that. This lecture will begin with the story and resulting legends of Howard Carter’s discovery of King Tut’s Tomb. We will then review the dynasties and rulers of Ancient Egypt from the Early Dynastic Period through the New Kingdom followed by a brief review of the history of the last Millennium before the Common Era. This lecture is about archaeology and ancient history.
