Ancient Egypt by Train is a unique travelogue that sees Professor Alice Roberts looking into the world’s oldest and greatest civilisation. And she’s doing it by train. This four-part series starts at the very end of the Ancient Egyptian empire in Alexandria, where the Romans came to take control, and travels back in time, heading south, to Cairo, Luxor and Aswan. Roberts digs deep to look beyond the myths and legends to understand what it must have been like to have lived in this fascinating, brutal and complex ancient civilisation. PRODUCER: Spark Media
