Finally, we've come to the point in this series where we'll get to a know a bit about arguably the most famous dynasty in ancient Egyptian History - the 18th Dynasty! Featuring such household names such as Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, Amenhotep III and of course, Tutankhamun, the 18th Dynasty ushered in the golden age that we today know as the New Kingdom - a time when Egypt was the most powerful and wealthiest nation on Earth. This program will cover all of the Egyptian rulers from Ahmose to Horemheb and show you just why Egypt was the envy of the Bronze Age world.
