Invasion

S1, E4: This final episode charts how Egypt's enemies exploit a country weakened by internal strife, ultimately leading to its destruction. Joann leaves Egypt and journeys south to Sudan where she finds the remarkable story of the forgotten Nubian Kings who ruled Egypt for a century before the next group of invaders, the Saites. In Luxor Temple Joann finds Egypt's saviour, Alexander The Great, before travelling to Alexandria - the greatest city on earth under the opulent Ptolemies. When this city of luxury rotted to its core, Egypt fell to the Romans.
