Daily life in Ancient Egypt is brought vividly alive by writer and Egyptologist John Romer in this intimate documentary series. More than 3000 years ago a village was established at Thebes on the West Bank of the Nile. Situated amid a barren and arid landscape, it housed the workers who created the tombs of the pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings. Stonemasons, painters, sculptors, quarrymen and scribes lived with their wives and children in the village and worked closely together in the sacred valley. As well as creating some of the greatest masterworks of ancient art in the royal tombs, they built tombs and chapels for themselves and their families, erected temples for the village gods and wrote prayers and recorded their thoughts on stones and papyri. The study of these ancient records and years of excavation at Deir El Medina and in the Valley of the Kings has enabled Romer to recreate the villagers' lives in the most intimate detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some lessons from history?
History has taught us three important lessons. To change the world, you have to do it all yourself. Second, when you change how people live, you must ensure they're ready for it. Third, you can't change the past without changing the future.
The first lesson we can learn is that there are only two ways to transform the world. One is to fight to get it. The other is to create. When you fight for it, you focus on winning and lose sight of why you started fighting in the first place.
While you cannot control their reactions to your ideas or how they present them, you can influence how they are presented. If you attempt to convince someone of something, you'll fail. But if you set out to inspire someone to action, you'll succeed.
Every great movement began with someone who had an idea and decided that they would act on it. You can create change or respond to it. The best way to do this is to be clear and honest about your goals, where you are coming from, and to be bold enough to take the initiative to go places no one has before.
Second, we have the ability to choose. You can either let your life happen or you can choose to make it happen. This means we must decide what kind of life we want to lead. Do we expect someone else to let us live? Or are we ready to decide our fate?
I believe we are living in a golden era. There's more opportunity than ever before, creating a lot of excitement. It's exciting to see people feel empowered to shape their future.
But it also creates a problem. It is essential to determine what you want, and how you can get it.
For example, let's say you want to buy a house. You could sit back and hope someone gives you a gift certificate to Home Depot. Or you could ask yourself, "What would I love to do?" Find a job that will allow you to do it. Final step: Apply for financing.
Let's suppose you want to travel the globe. Perhaps you are asking, "Where do i want to go?" Then, you'd start saving money, researching countries online, talking to friends, etc. Then, you book a trip.
Let's assume you didn't really know what you wanted. In this case, you'd probably end-up doing one of the things. This is how you can increase your chances for getting what you want. It might seem ridiculous, but it's true.
The third lesson is that regardless of what happens next, there are always ways to improve the future. It is very simple. Your choices influence who you are and what you become.
It is important to take inspiration from past experiences, learn from mistakes and succeed until you are successful.
If you don’t believe you can offer anything, you’re already behind. You have to believe in yourself.
You can start by learning what you already know. Start small, and work your way up. Take stock of the lessons you've learned in your entire life. What have you failed at? What were your successes? How have you overcome obstacles?
You are the only person who can limit what you can do. No matter how much anyone tells, you can achieve anything you set your mind.
Benjamin Franklin said, "Nothing will be successful unless you do."
How to Learn from the Mistakes and Victories of Human History.
History doesn't repeat itself. It doesn't take very long to learn from the failures of human history. Make sure you don't repeat them!
The key is to take what worked in the past and learn from it.
You can do this by reading books on leadership and management strategies and case studies of successful companies that have been around for decades.
By doing this, you can draw inspiration and avoid the same pitfalls they did.
You can also study examples of businesses that have gone bankrupt. They failed because of this. What are the common threads among these failures. These insights will allow you to avoid costly errors.
Finally, learn about the lives of historical figures like Abraham Lincoln (John D. Rockefeller), Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs), and Elon Musk. Although they had some of most impressive resumes anywhere, none knew how manage people or run businesses. Learn from their mistakes to help you make better decisions.
It is possible to learn from both the successes and failures of human history. All you need to do is spend a few minutes every day thinking about what has worked well in the past and finding ways to implement them today.
What can we learn by Abraham Lincoln's example?
Abraham Lincoln said, "I am slow to learn; very quick to forget."
He was conscious of how important it was for him to keep learning. He also understood that he would eventually have to learn new habits.
The same goes for businesses. We will hit roadblocks sometimes, and get stuck in unproductive ruts no matter how many times we plan for our success.
That's why it's crucial to seek new ways to grow and evolve constantly. If we are to achieve the pinnacle, we must keep learning.
Lincoln was a good example of the right attitude. He knew that he could improve his business' effectiveness, but he couldn’t stop learning.
There are two types of entrepreneurs. There are two types of entrepreneurs: those who keep busy and those who stay sharp.
Those who keep busy are focused on their business' growth. They will be involved in product development, marketing strategies, customer service, or any other daily tasks.
Although they may feel they have achieved something significant, they often miss the mark. Entrepreneurs who aren't focused on learning more won't see sustainable growth.
What is the difference between successful entrepreneurs and average entrepreneurs? The ability to adapt quickly and to change circumstances.
Successionable entrepreneurs look for ways that they can improve their products or services when faced with difficult situations.
However, most entrepreneurs stick to old-fashioned methods that no longer work. They won't change until their business is destroyed.
It is essential to learn both the art of adapting and self-reflection in order for success.
Who first said that people who don't learn history from the past are stupid?
Even though we want to live in an ideal universe where everyone learns through history, it's not possible to learn more from our failures.
The best way to learn how to do something correctly is to actually experience it.
The only real mistake is not trying to ensure you do it right the first time.
As long as you keep making improvements, you'll eventually understand why you made those changes.
You might even discover that you could have done it better the first time.
However, that doesn't mean you should not try again. It means you've learned a lot.
Even though you cannot avoid making mistakes completely, you can minimize them. This is the difference between success, and failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes begins the process. Next, look at your mistakes objectively and ask yourself "What have I learned?"
When you're open with yourself, you will see that your failures are not failures. They're opportunities to grow.
Thomas Edison went through exactly the same thing. He failed many other times before he inventing the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. He used every failure as an opportunity to improve the design.
Over time, he created the most popular type of lighting available today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. These are your opportunities to learn.
You can then try again.
