Episode Information

Spiritual and judicial leaders of an unassailable empire with monuments and palaces built to honour them; Pharaohs were Gods among men. Extravagant tombs, legacies written in hieroglyphic, and ancient texts give us a glimpse into their mythic reigns. But what did it mean to wield so much power? This six-part series tells the story of these iconic figures from the first pharaoh Narmer through to Cleopatra VII. Egyptologists and historians track the rise and fall of these Egyptian royals over 3,000 years and paint a picture of their spectacular rule and responsibilities.
