This advanced level programme takes the student on an academic journey through the early history of Egypt, beginning with the pre-dynastic period and the establishment of the Old Kingdom pyramid age. Divided into four main sections and covering the principle periods and their rulers, the course begins with a general overview of the chronology of Ancient Egypt and the culture. Then looking in detail at the pre-dynastic period and pharaonic Egypt, with the establishment of the Old Kingdom, the unrest of the First Intermediate Period and the beginnings of stability with the Middle Kingdom, a period of prosperity and security. Next we turn to the Hyksos conquest in the Second Intermediate Period, from which arose the golden age of the New Kingdom Period, and the Egyptian renaissance of art and culture. Drawing on a wide range of resources and contributors, the course takes in all the major archaeological sites and surviving source material to build a tangible historical record of Ancient Egypt, the culture, religion and the art surrounding mummification and ritual.
