The woman who became a living goddess, only to die amid the ravages of plague. The mother who faced murder and misery from her brother-husband as she fought for control of Egypt. The tragic daughter of Cleopatra, who became a monarch in her own right. The queens of ancient Egypt are among the great civilization’s most fascinating and enigmatic characters. Drawing on amazing new discoveries and cutting-edge research, Queens of Ancient Egypt tells the stories of three little-known but incredible Egyptian queens. Episode 1 investigates the story of Queen Tiye, who rose to dazzling heights 3,300 years ago. She may have blazed a trail for the world’s leading religions, and the belief that there is only one true god. Episode 2 explores the shocking story of Cleopatra II, a predecessor of the famous Cleopatra VII. It’s a grim tale of incest, murder, rape, mutilation and war. Episode 3 reveals the untold story of Cleopatra Selene, daughter of Cleopatra VII. After her parents’ suicide she recovered her fortunes to become one of Africa’s greatest queens.
