Very, very boring course. Told in a monotone way and there were inserted unnecessary pointings on the university and its museum and excavations... as well as unnecessary facts such as there is a pyramid shape in Las Vegas or Louvre... I could find more facts about Ancient Egypt in loads of other sources and books. I completed it just to have it marked as completed. Don't reccomend.

I've taken quite a few history courses and found this to be presented in a rather monotonous way, making it hard to get excited. The way it was structured was a bit odd, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I am really interested in Egyptian history, so it's a real shame.

The subject itself fascinates me, but the lector makes it extremely boring and I just do not wish to waste my time. Youtube videos are better at this point. I suggest to change the professor and renew your script.
