Egyptologist Prof Joann Fletcher takes us through 20,000 years of ancient Egyptian history. She charts where the world's most advanced ancient civilisation came from, how it rose to build the pyramids and grand temples, survived wars & famines, only to finally crumble at the hands of the Romans. Shot in eighteen months all over Egypt, this is Joann's unique spin on Egypt's long and ancient story.
