History of Ancient Egypt: Dynasty XX - Sea Peoples, Late Bronze Age Collapse and the End of an Era
In this program we’ll take a close look at the period spanning the 20th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, which may have arguably been one of the most trying times in the country’s history. After years of internal turmoil, Egypt faced a massive foreign invasion by a mysterious group of marauders and migrants who modern scholars have collectively called the Sea Peoples. Not only did they threaten Egypt’s vast empire in Canaan and the Levant, but possibly even the existence of the ancient Egyptian civilization itself. The aftermath of this great confrontation resulted in the gradual decline of Egypt’s fortunes as a whole as well as the decay of perhaps its last great dynasty. With harem conspiracies, corruption and the famous royal tomb robberies and trials, the events and intrigues of 20th Dynasty Egypt could make for a great HBO series like Game of Thrones. So prepare the popcorn and get comfortable as you won’t want to miss this episode of Ancient Egypt, Dynasty by Dynasty.
