One of the best lecture series I've had. Brier is as passionate a professor as you could hope for. He's also actively involved in what he's teaching. He mentions how he's undertaking a mummification project and also building a full scale replica of a 154ft Khufu ship.

The course begins in the Old Kingdom with some lectures focused around cultural topics, and then mostly progresses by dynasty to the Ptolemaic Dynasty and Cleopatra, with some break lectures in between.
