Pharaoh - Rulers of Ancient Egypt
Description
In the lead up to the National Gallery of Victoria’s new landmark exhibition Pharaoh, we are joined on our podcast by popular UK-based Egyptologist Lucia Gahlin.
Ancient Egypt has been at the forefront of Australia’s cultural life during 2024, with three block-buster exhibitions visiting Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne – each with a different focus and unique artefacts. Undoubtedly, Pharaonic Egypt is an era of history that continues to fascinate and enthral.
In this episode, Lucia guides us through the 3,000 year reign of the Pharaohs in ancient Egypt. Providing an overview of the Kingdoms, the iconography and the huge constructions which remain with us today – including the mighty pyramids, tombs and monuments that were built by the Pharaohs to ensure their immortality – Lucia answers many of the key questions about this captivating civilisation.
