Welcome to Deep Dives! 

This one is a flashback to before the 18th dynasty came about, to the expulsion of the Hyksos and the subsequent rise of the New Kingdom. I find this time in Egyptian history very interesting and I wanted to cover it in more detail. We cover the campaigns of Seqenenre Tao, Kamose, and Ahmose I against their Hyksos overlords and I try to bring the time to life. This is the first of my "dialogue" podcasts where I input fictional accounts into the podcasts themselves. (Disclosure: I am NOT blurring the lines between history and fiction and really attempt to drive this distinction home in later episodes as I got better). Anyways, hope you enjoy it!
