Seven Wonders of Ancient Egypt - Valley of the Kings DVD | Historical Documentary | Perfect for History Enthusiasts & Classroom Learning

1 x 45:00 min At the dawn of history, the ancient Egyptians first showed the world how to build the impossible. In an age before machines, when copper was the strongest metal yet discovered, great Pharaohs like Khufu and Ramses II demonstrated how boundless ambition and vast quantities of human labour could transform rock and stone into some of the most incredible monuments ever created from carving out spectacular tombs in the Valley of the Kings to the building of the iconic Great Pyramid. In this fascinating documentary special we uncover the secrets of Ancient Egypt's pharaohs, engineers and architects and bring to life great buildings as the ancient Egyptians saw them - towering over the greatest civilisation in the history of Africa, and perhaps the world. As we do so, we reveal the unique stories behind the people whose achievements they immortalise.
