Cult of the Aten: Part Two


Listen Later

WARNING: THIS PODCAST CONTAINS TOILET HUMOUR, CRUDE SEXUAL HUMOUR AND ALL MANNER OF THINGS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN, PRUDES OR DELICATE TYPES!

Welcome back, all you fellow archivists to the conclusion of our first two-part episode on the cult of the Aten. In this episode, his ankle bracelet and home detention sentence are no obstacle for DJ Bumsplitter, who tags in via Zoom to give life to some poetry. We find out just what it takes to be deliberately erased from history, how someone can accidentally walk into a donkey show while looking for Grandma's house and Jon teams up with a Death Metal band to speculate wildly about the manner of Akhenaten's downfall. No animals were harmed in the making of this podcast, but a few mummies got desecrated and many an execration text was brutally smashed!
