Lecturer: John C. Darnell, Yale University.
John C. Darnell delves into the history of Ancient Egypt from the Pre-dynastic Period through the end of the New Kingdom. In these lectures, Professor Darnell shows that, despite common perceptions, Pharaonic Egyptian civilization existed within a multicultural society subject to disparate geological environments-and that its strength lay in the balancing of contrasting groups and goals.
