About this listen

We begin our journey through Ancient Egypt at Giza, around 2560 BCE, as the Great Pyramid nears completion. This episode introduces the landscape of the Nile, the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under Narmer, and the foundations of pharaonic power. We explore the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, the invention of hieroglyphs, and the practical realities of pyramid construction. The conversation touches on the debate over who built the pyramids—were they slaves or skilled laborers? It also sets up future episodes on the collapse of the Old Kingdom, the middle kingdom renaissance, and the reigns of Akhenaten and Ramesses the Great. No sweeping generalities here—only specifics: the names, dates, and materials that make this civilization so astonishing.
