    228: Three Funerals & a Sed Festival
    Mar 2 2026
    Loss and rejuvenation. Ramesses third decade in power was a time of death. The King's Great Wife Nefertari passed around year 25. Almost simultaneously, his mother Tuya, his second wife Iset-Nofret, and his eldest son Amun-her-khopeshef all passed to the west. We meet these figures, explore their tombs (including the amazing KV5), and trace their surprising legacies. Then, we recount the big event: in Year 30, Ramesses celebrated the first of his jubilees. A magnificent Sed Festival took place in Memphis... Logo image: gold bead of Iset-Nofret (Metropolitan Museum of Art, public domain).

    227: The One Where Iset Poisons Ra

    What is the true name of god? Once upon a time, Ra ruled the earth directly. But the great goddess Iset/Isis desired to know his private name, the one hidden from all outsiders. A name that, if known, would grant the knower magical power over the sun god. To gain the knowledge she desired, Iset concocted a daring plan...

The narrator does such a good job of narrating the story of ancient Egypt. I like that he explains what we know vs don't know and all the wonderful speculation in between!

I love this podcast, ancient Egypt told from an up close and personal perspective. This podcast is free (although you can donate money to the maker), and so much better than most books about ancient Egypt and its people!

Nice narrative, and good information
