The Entire History of Ancient Egypt - Full Docuseries

Editor's Take

A single-sitting survey of roughly three thousand years, this six-hour series is built for viewers who want the whole arc of Egyptian civilisation rather than one dynasty or one dig. It moves from the first Nile settlements through the pyramid-building Old Kingdom to the last of the pharaohs, and the length is the point: it has room for the context most one-hour films skip.

This docuseries tells the entire history of ancient Egypt, one of the most powerful civilisations to emerge along the Nile some five thousand years ago. Across more than six hours it explores the pyramids, temples, pharaohs, and daily life of a culture that endured for millennia. Presented in 4K, it moves through the great dynasties and monuments that still define our image of the ancient world. It is a comprehensive journey into the land of the pharaohs.
