Excellent course even if the delivery is a bit dry. The content is top notch from an expert with plenty of visual aids. Time well spent if you like history and/or Ancient Egypt.

Interesting course although I was expecting more discussions on the actual wonders instead of an introduction to the art, religion, language and history of ancient egypt.

I chose ancient Egyptian history because I wanted to see the Pyramids, the Nile River. Now, after understanding the culture here, there is a sense of awe in my heart.

This was a great course to do! Quick and easy! Sometimes I found the lectures weren't quite linear and became a bit confusing, but it was really fun to learn!

i enjoyed this more than the last ancient Egypt course, I think the delivery was better. Overall well organised and easy to follow

Loved the amount of information in this course. I have always been fascinated by Egypt and it ancient dynasties. Thanks :)

The Professor speaks a bit slowly but the problem can be easily solved by going onto 1.25 or even 1.50 speed.

Despite feeling like a bit of a basic entry-level course, I learned a lot of new things. Great quality MOOC.

It was really great to get a close insight into Ancient Egyptian history, culture and rituals

interesting information, but I had to play the videos in 2x speed bc he talked so slow

Excellent course in Egyptian culture, language, artifacts, and archeology research.

Unenthusiastic and talks a little slow. 2x speed fixes it tho lol

The course was concise and is highly recommended for beginners

Great course, interesting topics and explanations, thanks !

Fascinating! Glad I took this one.

Nice course,really enjoyed it

I liked it a lot

The presentations were interesting but why doe every segment include almost three minutes of credits? Most annoying. Credits once in the course are expected, maybe once a week but every segment??? I'll think twice about subscribing to a U Penn course again

A dull tone, and over-reliance on the artefacts of the Penn museum, as if there were no other museums for egyptology in the world, are a few of the issues within this introduction course.

The sound quality isn't very good.

Курс не соответствует названию. При упоминании Чудес Древнего Египта больше представляются храмы Карнака, гробница Нефертари. В текстах под видео полно ошибок. Вместо Тутмоса IV - Моисей, Пенн музей стал Пейн музей.

I did not understang how videos were cut each week. Why 10 videos of 5 to 10 minutes with half the time for photographic credits (!!!!) where all could be said in one 30 minutes video ? Students can concentrate for 30 minutes in a row.

Course was easy, sometimes even light. As long as you like Ancient Egypt, you already know, for example, everything that is said in week 6 regarding Tut's tomb discovery.

I have no doubt that Dr Silverman is an extremely capable professionnal but he is not an the best speaker for a course : the tone is grim and lacks some passion.
