Topics covered within the course include detailed sections on each of the important pharaohs and periods, the architecture, function, and decoration, of principal monuments, a comprehensive study of the changing culture, myth and religion across the entire dynastic time line, and a detailed section on the surviving art and artefacts - their discovery, importance and place in history.
