Covered most of it

Revisado: 02-07-22

I love Mythology but the constant Jesus references is petty and arbitrary. They literally say the resurrection of Jesus came from Egyptian Mythology as if it’s the only story of its kind. Plenty of cultures around the world have similar elements to it yet are in no way recreations . I’m guessing all the pyramids around the world were taken from Egypt as well?

I’m learning Norwegian

Revisado: 07-25-20

My wife speaks and is Norwegian, she approves of these lessons for me. The only critique she made was how they teach the greeting phrases. To ask: “how’s it going?”, they use the phrase: “hvordan har du det?”, which is correct but most people say: “hvordan går det?” I can see why they use that less used phrase tho, the words “har, du, and det” are used often in these first chapters. Overall I think it’s quite engaging and really warms up my mind to speak without thinking. I’m a tough critique because I expect proper structure when listening to academic lectures. I approve of this and I would check out “Adventures of Nils”

Perfect

Revisado: 04-04-19

I’m dedicated to academics with in or outside a classroom and this lecture fell nothing short of a college lecture. Everything I wanted to know and more on the subject. The lecturer has the energy to please even the hardest critic. Great execution on chronology, foreshadowing, staying on topic and comprehensive details. Looking forward to other lectures by Mr.Harl.

Hardest critic

Revisado: 11-01-18

I would like all my studies of multiple groups to be organized. I would also hope the professor keeps a chronological order. In this lecture I see that he does a descent job at keeping things organized for the virgin ears. It’s a lot of information to digest. It doesn’t go exactly into the details of the people as much as he goes into detail of their impacts and triumphs on the world. I would not change anything about this but I do think making separate audio lectures on each of these tribes would be an awesome encore.

The love of knowledge

I advice you hear The Great Courses lecture on Aristotle’s ethics first, it will help you digest this easier.

Satisfied

It was a proper over view. I think reading Aristotle’s writings first will make this lecture more satisfying, but it isn’t necessary.

A review from a stickler

Revisado: 12-09-17

I have bought well into The Great Courses. I will have soon purchased all their books. I love to learn, to a point where I listen to the same lecture multiple times in order to memorize the valuable information. This book gave me a perfect chronological layout. Professor Brier stuck to the necessary material that a non Egyptologist needs to hear in order to truly grasp this culture. Thank you Professor Brier for your knowledge and comical charisma and thank you The Great Courses/Teaching Company for putting this knowledge together; also a big thanks to Audible for quenching my thirst for knowledge at a respectable price.

Prosperity

A great ton of valuable information. I don't have a Ph.D but all the information seems to correlate with other Ancient civilization lectures I've listened to.
