Joann sees how people here changed, in just a few centuries, from primitive farmers to pyramid builders and finds the early evidence for Egypt's amazing gods and obsession with death and the afterlife.
On her search, Joann travels almost 20,000 years back in time to discover north Africa's earliest rock art, she discovers how the first writing was used to calculate taxes and explores one of the first stone structures on earth - Egypt's first pyramid. Joann ends her journey in the largest monument of them all - the Great Pyramid. Here, she explains how Egypt had now reached a pinnacle - the ultimate society, creating one of the wonders of the ancient world.

I’m Egyptian and I would like to thank you for mentioning the camels thing. People think camels are part of our heritage and culture but it’s totally not. It’s only available at touristic sites for merely commercial purposes. Unlike what people may think, we are much more about agriculture than desert stuff. The pyramids were surrounded by agricultural land until a century ago. Most of our traditions and habits are strongly related to the agricultural nature of old Egypt.

Even as a child Egypt fascinated me. I used to spend hours reading and watching documentaries about every part of Egypt. It is still a major dream of mine to visit and spend weeks exploring and learning about Ancient Egypt to the Egypt we know today. Egypt is part of every single one of us in one way or another. My love and respect to this amazing culture and incredible history.

I’m living vicariously through this lady. She’s living out my history nerd dreams
-
This lady is who I wanted to be when I was growing up. My path didn't end up that way, but I love watching her. She is so intelligent, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. You can see how much she loves what she does. This series is informative and very well directed. Fascinating.
-
I love this lady! "I think I better stop talking now." You could tell she was about to tear up because this is her passion. Great documentary series!
-
I’m still hoping that someone will take the time and effort to make a Virtual Reality environment of how these monuments looked when they were new, just finished. To see Giza Pyramid complex when the pyramids were shimmering in white limestone and capped with gold, all the colors and palm trees...wow.
-
I was always fascinated by ancient Egypt. I never thought I would be able to go but I finally made a dream come true. The feeling of seeing the Giza pyramids is overwhelming, beautiful.
-
As a child I was amazed by Egypt and even now I would sit down all day reading and watching videos of Egypt and the things they did it's still my dream to visit Egypt and see all the amazing and fascinating things they left behind
-
The fact that they included her directing the rain added witty flavour to this doc. It’s so beautifuly done!
-
“Okay you can cut the rain”😥😂😂
-
This woman is by far one of my favourite historians 🥰
-
What I'm most impressed with is that there was ancient tourists back in 1300BC visiting an even more ancient structure. The step pyramid of Djoser was already ancient to the 1300BC Egyptians. Gosh.
-
I was born in Bosnia and grew up surrounded by medieval castles. 700 years old but still standing. Pyramids are much older and sturdier. Impressive.

Joann Fletcher is a great presenter and writer. I love her down-to-earth manner and warmth. This series never gets old!

Joann Fletcher is a great story-teller. History is exciting. Keeping it simple for non-historians like me.

I feel like I'm being told a story while sitting on the rug back in 3rd grade. Where's my snack?!?!
