Half way through editing my latest ancient history programme, New Kingdom Egypt. Lasting 500 years this was Egypt’s golden age, when their Empire ruled the ancient world. The New Kingdom was dominated by pharaohs who considered themselves “warrior pharaohs” and built marvellous temples to worship their gods. Ahmose I, Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, Akhenaten, Tutankhamun and Ramesses II are the best known pharaohs of the New Kingdom. The DVD will be released in September.
