Step into the golden sands of Ancient Egypt with award-winning historian Bettany Hughes as she brings the land of the pharaohs vividly to life. With over 50 documentaries seen by 250 million viewers worldwide and bestselling books including The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and Venus & Aphrodite, she has devoted 25 years to transform ancient history into captivating storytelling. Bettany will reveal how Ancient Egypt’s innovations in medicine, mathematics, engineering, and governance laid foundations for our modern world. She’ll explore how Egyptian concepts of the afterlife, justice, and leadership continue to influence us today, and why this ancient civilization remains so compelling to contemporary audiences. From the sands of the Sahara to the secrets of the Valley of the Kings, don’t miss this chance to experience Ancient Egypt through the eyes of one of our finest historians. Whether you’re fascinated by ancient mysteries or curious about how the past connects to our present, this evening promises to be an indelible journey down the Nile and through time. “Bettany is the most perfect tour guide I know. Her boundless enthusiasm, clarity and learning combined with a matchless gift for storytelling bring the Wonders of the World leapingly alive.” Stephen Fry
