- S52E04Egypt's Tombs of AmunAn archaeological detective story opens a door into an extraordinary moment in the history of Ancient Egypt, as the discovery of a long-lost cemetery not far from King Tut's tomb shines a light on an often-overlooked Egyptian kingdom. Treasures emerge revealing details of a unique period about 2,700 years ago, when kings from Nubia – present-day Sudan – conquered Egypt and shifted the status of Egyptian women, giving them remarkable power. Archaeologists and historians reveal how the ascent of The God's Wife of Amun lifted some women to the highest echelons of religious, political, and financial power in the ancient Egyptian empire.
