The internal decay and external invasions that ended an empire
In short: Explore the complex collapse of Ancient Egypt, from internal strife to the rise of the Nubian kings and the eventual arrival of Alexander the Great.
The video examines how Egypt became vulnerable to conquest due to internal instability. It highlights the period of the Nubian kings, who ruled from the south for a century and constructed their own pyramids. It also covers the Saites, who expanded mummification practices to include millions of animals.
The narrative concludes with the intervention of Alexander the Great, who arrived to 'rescue' Egypt and established what was considered the greatest city on Earth.
