The Pharaohs: Gods and Kings - Chronicles of Ancient Egypt Episode 2

Editor's Take

The second chapter of a series on Egypt's rulers, this episode is a portrait gallery of the pharaohs who cast themselves as living gods. It works well on its own if you are more interested in the personalities and power behind the monuments than in the archaeology of the stones themselves.

This episode of Chronicles of Ancient Egypt explores the lives and reigns of Egypt's most powerful pharaohs, the god-kings who built pyramids, commanded armies, and ruled the ancient world's most advanced civilization. It reveals how these rulers wielded absolute power and shaped a culture that still fascinates. Expert insight and vivid visuals bring their era to life. Rich and immersive, it is a rewarding chapter of Egyptian history. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
