This week, Lucy Wadeson joins us again to discuss death, burials, and the afterlife in the Nabatean Empire. What did the Nabateans think happened to you after you died? What can we learn about the connection between the living and the dead through ritual practices like feasting and gift giving? And who were these impressive tombs really for? We cover all this and more.
