Archaeologist and historian Joann Fletcher explores the story of Ancient Egypt and begins with a search of the building blocks that made he civilisation so enduring. She discovers how its people changed from primitive farmers to pyramid builders in just a few centuries, and finds early evidence for Egypt's gods and its obsession with death and the afterlife. She also reveals how the first writing was used to calculate taxes and examines Egypt's first pyramid - one of the world's earliest stone structures
