It's hard to condense the history of a country that was around 4000 years or so, but Prof. Brier does very well by focusing primarily on some of the major Pharaohs of Egypt. He is quite enthusiastic about the subject & does an excellent job of helping us get a more personal understanding of the particular Pharaohs. It was a fascinating presentation, & although pretty familiar with Egyptian history, I managed to learn quite a bit, especially about the Nubian Pharaohs. Highly recommended.
