The Birth of Art
Alastair Sooke tells the story of Ancient Egyptian art through 30 masterpieces. He treks across the Sahara and travels along the Nile to find the rarely seen pieces crafted by the country's earliest inhabitants, and explores how the works often reflected people's religion. He is also joined by contemporary artists who are confounded by the technical skills of the craftsmen
