Introduction to Ancient Egypt and Its Civilization

I recommend reading the suggested books (majority are free of charge) but also purchasing Dr. Silverman's book Ancient Egypt which is a staple in Egyptology classes.

Interesting Dr. Silverman is clear and easy to follow, and I appreciated the many suggested readings that were available online from various institutions.

I want to thank Dr. Silverman and his colleagues to bring that amazing course to us.

I loved Dr. Silverman's lectures and the photos of artifacts from the museum.

The subject matter is of great interest to me but unfortunately Dr. Silverman standing paralyzed before a projected backdrop and lecturing in a monotone doesn't do it.

Thank you Dr. Silvermann.

An extensive amount of information pertaining to the the ancient civilization, and Dr. Silverman explain everything with great understanding!

Dr. Silverman's lectures are very engaging and highly informative, always leaving you feeling excited for the next lecture.

Lecturer seemed uncomfortable with presenting to camera at first, but seemed to improve as course went on This course is really a good introduction to Ancient Egypt.

I sincerely thank the team at Coursera, the Penn Museum and David Silverman for their efforts in putting together such a great course!

Lots of detail, particularly about the Penn museum.

learned a lot about Egypt which is total vacancy in my knowledge before taking the course and helped in greater understanding of Penn Museum's collection I liked it, but I've expected more videos.

Fantastic content, I really learnt some new things I am inspired to travel to visit Penn Museum.

Dr. Silverman is very knowledgeable in his field and every time he mentioned some artifact in the Penn Museum, it made me more and more interested in visiting.

And every word have become concrete when I progress in this course under Prof. Silverman's instruction and tour in the Penn museum.

Excellent teacher and to be able to see important pieces in the Penn Museum was a plus.

I also love the Penn Museum in Philadelphia which inspired me to take this course!

The richness of the Penn museum is not taken advantage with an introductory tour.

I have so much fun in this course.

I really enjoyed this course!

It was great and easy to understand.

Finally, while Dr Silverman is, clearly, an eminent academic, he is not a natural presenter, reading from a script and uncomfortable on camera.

Descriptive I really enjoyed this course and I will miss Dr SIlverman's voice.

Las explicaciones del Dr Silverman son muy claras y fáciles de entender.

Dr Silverman lectures were very interesting and informative, Bought both course and optional book.
