Explore empires and bring ancient Egypt to life in this online event designed for VCE Ancient History. Through a rich array of artefacts from Pharaoh, this NGV Educator–led talk examines Egyptian kingship spanning the Early Dynastic Period to the New Kingdom.

Students will:
• Examine how sources can be used to explore the representation of kingship and how that changed over time
• Identify how sources can be used to explore challenges faced by rulers in ancient Egypt
• Discuss the ways in which sources can be used to access different perspectives of people across society
