Summary
"Thousands of years of peace, continuity and stability under the pharaohs brought prosperity and the construction of monumental buildings in ancient Egypt. The pyramids symbolized the ancient Egyptian concept of the state, linked the people with their gods and helped bring order out of chaos. The Roman Empire brought this long-lasting societal order to an end in 30 BCE, as Cleopatra's politics of seduction failed to save Egypt's sovereignty. This program will help students discover the fascinating history and the mysterious culture of ancient Egypt from its origins until the end of Cleopatra's reign as last pharaoh of Egypt."--DVD container cover insert
