Legends of the Pharaohs

Bringing Egypt's true stories from the age of the Pharaohs to life, capture the energy behind the moment that was the birth of Tutankhamun.

Only the third woman to become Pharaoh in the 3,000-year history of Ancient Egypt, Hatshepsut catapulted to power 14 centuries before Cleopatra.

In a time of comparative peace, this ruler of Ancient Egypt dedicated his time to diplomacy and extensive building in Egypt and Nubia.

Despite the short-lived nature of Akenaton's religious reform, his artistic legacy influenced the work of future craftsmen.

Wife to King Akhenaton, Nefertiti's portrait bust - now located in Berlin - is one of the most well-known ancient sculptures in existence.

The discovery of Tutankhamun's largely intact tomb in 1922 was arguably more significant than his short reign as Pharaoh.
