A collection of four episodes on the mythology of Ancient Egypt. For a full list of readings used, visit the page for each individual episode, in the links below:

Episode #4 (beginning at 00:36) is an introduction and reading of only a handful of the ancient Egyptian Pyramid texts.

Episode #5 (beginning at 46:00) is an overview of the story of the Egyptian god Osiris, with readings from the most complete Egyptian and Greek sources

Episode #6 (beginning at 1:27:15) is an overview of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and a reading from Chapter 125.

Episode #7 (beginning at 1:56:45) is a reading of Herodotus's account of Egyptian embalming/mummification practices, followed by a summing up of Egyptian myth episodes.

Any comments, or suggestions for readings I should make in later episodes, can be emailed to [email protected].

I assume that the small amount of work presented in each episode constitutes fair use. Publishers, authors, or other copyright holders who would prefer to not have their work presented here can also email me at [email protected], and I will remove the episode immediately.
