Reviews for Ancient Egypt

[Kent Rasmussen · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Useful for a quick survey of early Egyptian history, hitting most of the high points, but I'm not sure how authoritative it is in details. Prose could have used more editing.

[Roland Monsegu · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Nice overview of Ancient Egypt. The Narration could be improved.

[Kristina Ramcharan · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The narrator made it easy for listening. Looking forward to more.
