ANCIENT EGYPT
". . . Egypt is the Gift of the Nile . . ."
attributed to Hekataios
When the Greeks were about to set out colonizing the
Mediterranean world, Egypt was already an old and
tired civilization, her days of glory long behind her. But
her monuments still stood. New and younger empires,
the Persians, the Macedonians, the Romans, would
become masters of the Nile, siphoning off the wealth
and wonders of the land. But a conquered Egypt still
had much to teach her new masters.
In this course on the history of Egypt, we will also study
the art, architecture, archaeology and religion of this
most ancient of civilizations.
The lectures will be richly illustrated with images, and
course material will include detailed lecture notes and
an extensive syllabus including maps and ground plans.
