Dr. Stephen Harvey, was one of the major expert sources interviewed by the Public Broadcasting Service for a series about Egypt.  The three-part series, Egypt's Golden Empire, will air on England's BBC and on PBS in the United States. The program describes the expansion of the ancient country's empire from 1550 to 1085 BC, an era that included such leaders as warrior king Ahmose and pharaoh Ramesses the Great. Harvey's interview is part of the first installment of the series, "The Warrior Kings." The series aired on PBS and is available for purchase on DVD.

Synopsis of Book 1 The Hippopotamus Marsh

The Hyksos—outlanders from Asia Minor with Cretan and Minoan trading connections—ruled Egypt for over two hundred years from about 1800 B.C. Then the descendants of the last true king of Egypt rallied the native princes of Upper Egypt to rebel against the foreigners and their alien gods and ways.

Sequenra Tao, prince of Weset, leads the revolt. His provincial, aristocratic family—dauntless mother; dutiful wife; three handsome sons and two beloved daughters—are accustomed to a life of straitened gentility on their estate, remote from the center of power and commerce in the Delta, and from the contamination of the Hyksos. But when the prince decides to throw off the shackles of subservience, their lives change as they each must risk all, even life itself, to restore Egyptians and their gods to glory. The Hippopotamus Marsh begins a trilogy that brings to vivid life the passions and intrigues which ushered in the great Eighteenth Dynasty
