Description

A New Dawn is an epic adventure through Ancient Egypt, in which journalist and art critic Alastair Sooke follows on from his hit series Treasures of Ancient Rome , tracking down the treasures of the longest-lasting civilization in history and uncovering the true story of their rise and fall throughout the ages. Stepping aside from the well-worn usual cliches of this era, in A New Dawn he discovers how Egypt's unique melting pot of geography and culture created some of the most remarkable treasures the world has ever seen. Specifically he shows the Nubian and Hellenistic influences on late Egyptian art. A New Dawn is the last episode in the visually stunning BBC history series Treasures of Ancient Egypt , which takes a look at the cultural bounty handed down to us from one of the most famous ancient civilizations on Earth.
