About The Power of Life and Death: Unveiling Ancient Egypt With Joann Fletcher

Water and fertile sediment from central and eastern African highlands render Egypt immensely fertile, hence the richest and most populous Ancient country. The delta developed another culture and economy then 'Upper Egypt', so two kingdoms emerged, which would only be united by the southern conqueror Narmer. The empire united under one Pharaoh, who acquired unprecedented power as a living god in a culture obsessed with religion, especially the afterlife, to which it devoted immense resources, especially for royal graves, culminating in the pyramids. Odyssey is your journey into the world of Ancient History; from the dawn of Mesopotamia to the fall of Rome. We'll be bringing you only the best documentaries that journey into the mysteries and ruins of worlds long lost.
