The Complete History of Ancient Egypt | 2.5 Hours of History for Sleep

A slow, carefully sourced narration from the first villages on the Nile to the last hieroglyph carved at Philae in AD 394. It is told through the things that survived: a painted pot, the logbook of a man delivering limestone to the Great Pyramid, a letter from a young king about a dancing dwarf, a workman’s note explaining a missed shift.

No dramatic music, no sudden volume changes and no ad breaks in the first eight minutes.
