This episode offers a very basic introduction to Ancient Egypt, designed to supplement introductory learning with an open-access world history textbook (https://oer.galileo.usg.edu/history-textbooks/2/). This episode offers a summarized view of the key periods for Ancient Egypt, from prehistory to the Roman period, but also emphasizes the danger of over-simplifying a 3,000+ year-long society in a single snapshot image.
