After Dark: Myths, Misdeeds & the Paranormal

The Dark Side of Ancient Egypt


Listen Later

When people talk about Ancient Egypt, they often focus on the amazing pyramids, mummies, and the advanced civilisation.


At After Dark, we love to explore the grim reality of all of this: what was life like for the people who built those pyramids? What happened if you stole from the Valley of the Kings? And how common were dark arts and sorcery?


Today Anthony and Maddy are joined by Egyptologist Campbell Price, to uncover the dark side of Ancient Egypt.

This episode was edited by Tom Delargy and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer is Charlotte Long.
