The Foundations of Western Civilization. Episode 3 Egypt - The Gift of the Nile

F., Thomas, (actor.). The Great Courses (Firm), (Distributor). Kanopy (Firm), (Distributor).

Summary: As Sumer was the gift of the Tigris and Euphrates, so Egypt - a ribbon of fertile floodplain 750 miles long but not much more than 15 miles wide - has been called "the gift of the Nile." But the differences between Egypt and Mesopotamia tell us as much as the similarities.
