About the show
From the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under Narmer to the Arab Spring that toppled Hosni Mubarak, 'The History of Egypt' traces 5,000 years of civilization along the Nile. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through the Old Kingdom’s pyramid builders, the religious revolution of Akhenaten, the empire of Ramesses II, and the Ptolemaic era of Cleopatra. Explore the Persian, Greek, Roman, and Arab conquests; the Mamluk sultanate; Ottoman rule; the British occupation; and the rise of modern nationalism under Nasser. Debates include the nature of pharaonic divinity, the role of the Nile in state formation, the impact of the Hyksos, and the legacy of colonialism on Egypt's identity today. How did a narrow river valley produce one of the world's most enduring civilizations? Join us as we unravel the layers of a land where history is written in stone.
