Ancient Egypt

A History in Seven Treasures
A fascinating story of ancient Egypt told through seven treasures, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Seven Wonders of the Ancient World

Few civilisations capture our imagination like Ancient Egypt. Home to pharaohs and kings, breathtaking structures and astonishing tombs, it was a culture light years ahead of its time that laid the foundations for our modern world.

Join bestselling historian Bettany Hughes as she unearths the stories of an awe-inspiring civilisation through seven astonishing treasures, bringing the land of the pharaohs vividly to life. From the Great Pyramid of Giza and Tutankhamun's tomb, to the underwater city at Alexandria and Cleopatra's secret island of Philae, these treasures reveal the people, power and beliefs that shaped the Nile's enduring world.

Drawing on her own vivid first-hand encounters at each site, Hughes brings the splendour, drama and humanity of Ancient Egypt to life as never before.
