tutankhamun

In this episode, the Seven Ages team begins the show with an in-depth discussion of some of the theories and speculations surrounding the building of the pyramids. The discussion also references the recently discovered void above the King's chamber in the pyramid of Khufu using a cosmic-ray scan. The Seven Ages team is then joined by Dr. Bob Brier "Mr. Mummy" for a celebratory discussion of the 100th Anniversary of the discovery of the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun by Howard Carter. 

Dr. Bob Brier is recognized as one of the world's foremost experts on mummies and Egyptology. As Senior Research Fellow at Long Island University/LIU Post in Brookville, New York, he has conducted pioneering research in mummification practices and has investigated some of the world's most famous mummies, including King Tut, Vladimir Lenin, Ramses the Great, Eva Peron (Evita), Marquise Tai (Chinese noblewoman), and the Medici family of Renaissance Italy.

In celebration of the centennial of the discovery of the famed Egyptian pharaoh's final resting place, Dr. Brier joins us to discuss his new book Tutankhamun and the Tomb that Changed the World.

We're back with a new show all about the Curse of King Tutankhamun and a 3000 year old conspiracy that still claims lives to this day.

Death by Monsters is a comedy show all about Monsters, Mysteries and the Unknown. We delve into the paranormal, the unexplained, true crime and of course the occasional conspiracy. It features Paula Deming, Nick Murphy and Matthew Jude. 

Things got a bit heavy last week, so let's take things down a notch by exploring the other end of the scale. Light games are just as important for a board game collection, after all. We discuss what light games offer that heavier games don't, and mention some of our recent favourites. Before we lighten the mood, we talk about Reef, Clans of Caledonia, and Tutankhamun.

Wealth can be both a blessing and a curse. It allows many to wander far and wide, and one soul has been wandering for an eternity.  

The discovery of a lifetime almost didn’t happen, but when Howard Carter found King Tut’s tomb everything changed. Curses and mummies came with fame and fortune. Come see how the fortune behind the discovery also connects to our stories of heirs and heiresses, the Titanic and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as Universal’s Mummy Franchise and Downton Abbey.

Other people and subjects include: November 1922, Ava Alice Muriel Astor, Lady Evelyn Herbert of Carnarvon, Lord Carnarvon, Highclere Castle, Prince Kamel Fahm Bey of Egypt, Pola Negri, and the ongoing pop culture fascination with Egypt.

Join the Rogues this week as we discuss strange phobias, talk about some interesting Australian animals, and go on an adventure back in time to explore the tomb of King Tutankhamun! Billy and Vinny will also face off in the grooviest edition of War of the Rogues's yet!

There's so much that happens during the New Kingdom that I had to split up the episodes. So this one is technically the old New Kingdom episode, and the others are the new New Kingdom.
