It’s 2024. We’re digging into Ancient Egyptian mythology, FINALLY! But before we really get into it, Julia’s laying out a 101 class to get us all prepped, including history, cosmology, and of course, the Book of the Dead (it’s not what you think!)
Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about or mentions of colonialism and imperialism, death, childbirth, apocalypse, elitism, and murder/execution.
