So yeah. Doctor Bob or Mr Mummy as he’s known to his friends made a series of lectures for some well known US home learning company a few years ago. And its fascinating. Bob Brier has this knack of being able to explainthings about ancient Egypt in such a way that it all makes sense, possibly because of his background of growing up in The Bronx maybe?

Each lecture is approx 30-40 minutes long and neatly cuts up Egyptian history into digestable sections. In fact I spent an extra week just going back over the lectures I found most interesting. It’s a great ‘read’. Heartily reccommend it to anyone with the slightest interest in the Period. Even if all you want to do is hear about the Greek Egypt era and Rome.
