Imagine a civilization so old that the pyramids were already ancient when other great civilizations were just beginning.

In this complete history of Egypt documentary, we travel from the rise of the first Egyptian kingdom along the Nile to the modern Egyptian republic.

Discover the story of the great pyramids, the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, and the powerful New Kingdom. Meet famous rulers such as Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, Akhenaten, Tutankhamun, Ramesses II, and Cleopatra VII.

Then follow Egypt through centuries of change as Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Mamluks, Ottomans, French, and British powers shaped its history.

We also explore the rise of Alexandria and Cairo, the spread of Christianity and Islam, Saladin and the Mamluks, Napoleon's invasion, Muhammad Ali, the Suez Canal, British occupation, Egyptian independence, the 1952 revolution, Gamal Abdel Nasser, and modern Egypt.

But this is not only a story about pharaohs and pyramids.

It is a story about survival.

For thousands of years, Egypt changed its rulers, religions, languages, and political systems, yet the Nile and the land around it remained at the center of its story.

From the ancient kingdoms to the modern world, this is the entire history of Egypt.
