Egypt captivates us like few other ancient civilizations - but what was it like to actually live there as an ordinary person 3,500 years ago? Egyptologist Dr Joann Fletcher goes on a fascinating journey in search of people like us, not the great Pharaohs but the ordinary people who built and populated this incredible ancient civilization, creating a remarkable way of life and an extraordinary way of death. These questions are explored through the histories of Kha and Meryt, an architect and his wife who lived just outside the Valley of the Kings. They left behind a treasure trove of information in their extraordinary tomb, full of objects from their lives and death; everything from make-up to death masks, loaves of bread to life-like figurines, even the tools Kha used at work in the royal tombs. Joann Fletcher uses this trove to travel into the remarkable world of these ancient Egyptians, both in life and the afterlife. In the first part of the series, Joann explores how people lived during this time, from the tightly packed houses and villages of the common people, to the clothes they wore and the food they ate. She discovers the ordinary Egyptians' love of poetry and their enthusiasm for interior design, as well as what it was like working in the most famous cemetery on Earth.
对永生的渴望，感动了。

我又迷上了这个红头发的女教授呀，一看就是智慧幽默的女性。讲解中蕴含大量细节，毫无枯燥之感。然后她下到墓穴中，生动地给我们演了一场啥叫美哭了！我笑了，但是真的觉得这个女人好可爱！
古埃及人对色彩的流畅运用让人永远也看不腻，神话色彩浓厚的生死观也贯穿了古埃及人的整个人生。不看法老的金字塔，看看普通古埃及人留下来的，就感觉那时风物又栩栩如生起来。红发阿姨Joann Fletcher真的是照亮了古埃及的一道风景。
视角很棒。可惜主讲是激情高于理智的典型。
