Season 1 Episode 6: The Old Kingdom's Peak

<p>When Sneferu ascended to the throne of Egypt, he had something to prove. He was born no royal, living his early life as a minor nomarch, and only lucked into the position by marrying the daughter of a pharaoh with no heir. In a quest to prove his status as a god-king, Sneferu commanded the most impressive building project yet made with human hands. Join us this week as Sneferu and his fourth dynasty successors build Egypt&apos;s most iconic landmarks.
