The Ahmose dynasty of pharaohs would rise to defeat Egypt's occupiers to the north and south. In the process they created a New Kingdom, one that would far surpass any previous Egyptian civilization.

Ep. 2: Pharaohs of the Sun
Art, technology, and new ideas enhance the wealth of the new empire, and diplomacy and military conquest ensure a firm grip on power. However, sun-worshiping pharaohs such as the royal couple Akhenaten and Nefertiti, and the inexperienced boy-king Tutankhamen, take the empire into uncharted waters.
