In 1978 a team drilled into the rock around the Sphinx hunting a hidden library. No chamber has ever been found, and that answer took nearly fifty years of drilling and mapping by people who very much wanted to find something else. Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/Zlo9mn059VE
12 min - This Is the Face on Cleopatra's Coins
A silver coin struck in her own lifetime, carrying her portrait. Coins like this one are widely held to give the best idea of how she looked, and they are almost never the image anyone reaches for, because they do not match the story. Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/n8fgCqyxHkU
12 min - Greek Gods Explained In 12 Minutes

13 min - Gods of Egypt: The REAL Story

10 min - Ra: The God Egypt Did Not Usually Show in Fully Human Form
Seventy-five invocations in one text, a holy city the Pyramid Texts tie mainly to Atum, and a sun drawn as a wrapped corpse. Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/SoYXKupMz9k
11 min - Horus: The REAL Story
Son of Osiris or brother of Osiris? Egypt wrote down both. He is also not the god of war, and that mistake has a named cause. Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/WrA4p-mF_fU
12 min - Every Egyptian God Explained
