Description: I for one was shocked to learn the Egyptians actually buried their kings in a giant Millennium Puzzle. We've covered Egypt on this channel in previous videos, but this History Re-Summarized is the Definitive Edition, redone from the ground up to present the best possible account — starting at the beginning for a full chronology of Ancient Egypt, from the very first Pharaohs the Muslim Conquest. (Observant Egyptologists and D&D players might note the Pyramids are actually D-*Fives*, but technically they're D-*Nines* since each face is actually two right triangles at a slight angle to each other and not a single flat isosceles triangle, so shhh, we can pretend it's a D4.) Sources & Further Reading: "The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt" & "Ancient Egypt: A Very Short Introduction" by Ian Shaw, World History Encyclopedia entries on "Ancient Egypt", "Old Kingdom of Egypt", "First Intermediate Period of Egypt", "Middle Kingdom of Egypt", "Second Intermediate Period of Egypt", "New Kingdom of Egypt" worldhistory.org/egypt, The Great Courses' lecture series "History of Ancient Egypt" by Bob Brier. Additionally, I have an undergraduate degree in classical studies (re: Persia, Ptolemies and Rome).
