The Scorpion King was a mythical Egyptian ruler who predated the pharaohs. Recent developments, such as the excavation of the king's tomb, have revealed surprising new details about early Egyptian civilisation. 3/8-Pyramids The historical documentary series continues. This episode explores the development of the pyramids, from underground burial chambers to soaring structures that revolutionised architecture. The film reveals the name of the man who designed the very first pyramid and shows how his ideas were refined and perfected, until pyramids eventually fell out of fashion altogether. The pyramids of Egypt are the most enduring monuments of the ancient world. Around 80 of them still exist, but most of these were built in a short 100-year period, and they remain one of the world's greatest mysteries. In a time before iron tools, with very little engineering knowledge, how and why did the Egyptians embark on such massive projects?

This episode explores the extraordinary life of Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of Egypt. Depicted throughout history as a temptress who ruined two generals of Rome, scholars now believe that Cleopatra possessed great political ability and knowledge. Despite a lack of physical evidence of her reign, they are able to piece together the story of her rule during the dying days of Ancient Egypt. Cleopatra has been popularly remembered as the great beauty whose affairs with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony precipitated the conquest of Egypt by the Romans. But historians now believe that she was the victim of Roman ‘spin’ intended to blacken her name. “They turned her into a salacious harlot – this bubble-headed sex kitten who’s jumping in and out of bed with any available Roman,” says Dr Robert Steven Bianchi.

This instalment charts the life of Rameses II, the longest-lived pharaoh who is widely regarded as Egypt’s greatest ruler. New discoveries have shed more light on the king’s successful reign, while Egyptologists continue to debate the nature of his character and achievements. Rameses II has often been called ‘Rameses the Great’. Ascending to the throne in c.1279 BC, he ruled for 66 years – longer than any other pharaoh – and is credited with bringing stability and prosperity to the nation. When his mummy was excavated, Rameses was found to be a small man, crippled by arthritis in his old age. Yet in life he was clearly able to impose himself on his people. The sheer number of temples constructed by Rameses in his own honour have prompted some historians to label him an egomaniac – yet modern Egyptologists now regard him as a powerful and decisive leader.

Sitting across the river from Memphis, Egypt's first capital city, the vast necropolis is the site of the world's very first pyramid—the Step Pyramid of King Djoser—a monument designed to ease the ancient pharaoh's passage to the afterlife.
