They sweep across the dunes in skeletal chariots, backed by giant scorpions, terrifying Ushabti warriors, and the magnificent Hierotitans. Undead liche priests rain magical destruction on their enemies, while the Kings themselves smite foes with impunity.

Wayward Sons and Scribes (Re-Release)

The History of Egypt Podcast ·

2023/01/25

Two letters that tell tales. A model letter from c.1250 BCE tells us of a wayward scribe, who fell off the path of ma’at and became lost in drunkeness, indolence and womanizing. Disappointed in his former pupil, a schoolmaster writes to the scribe, rebuking him for his lifestyle and failures. Then, around 1250 BCE an Egyptian father wrote a letter to his wayward son. The boy had joined a ship’s crew and was now abroad, but had not sent any word of his well-being. Anxious, the father wrote a poignant

The Divine Calendar of Ancient Egypt (Re-Release)

The History of Egypt Podcast ·

2022/12/27

The Deified Dozen. The ancient Egyptian calendar had its origins in lunar traditions (following the moon), but later transitioned to a 365-day solar system. Over the course of twelve months, the Egyptians marked three major seasons and honoured many deities. Festivals to goddesses and gods brought pageantry and partying to the temples. People honoured the great deities, and they sought to unify the world of nature with that of the living, and sometimes even the dead... Music "Hymn to Hathor" by

Horemheb's favourite god. Throughout his life, Horemheb commissioned monuments and artefacts that honoured Djehuty (Thoth).

Horemheb's Great Decree. Sometime during his reign, King Horemheb proclaimed a new set of laws. Taking aim at corruption and abuses-of-power (allegedly happening throughout Egypt), the pharaoh went hard on corrective measures. Punishments could range from beatings to disfigurement, exile, and death. Horemheb was not messing around. But what was he really trying to achieve?
