Empires: Egypt's Golden Empire DVD

In 1570 B.C., Rome was a marsh, the Acropolis an empty rock, but Egypt was 1,000 years old.

EGYPT'S GOLDEN EMPIRE comes to life through letters and records evoking the passion and riches of a time when Egypt was the center of the known world, its Pharaohs called gods, and great cities, temples and tombs built.
