About this listen

In this pilot episode, Lucas and Luna explore the foundations of ancient Egyptian religion through the lens of a specific moment: the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahri. They discuss the creation myth centered on Atum and the Heliopolitan Ennead, the role of Ma'at as cosmic order, and the importance of the Nile's annual inundation in shaping Egyptian beliefs. Lucas explains how the ba and ka components of the soul relate to the afterlife, and touches on Osiris, Isis, and Horus as central deities. The episode sets the stage for future discussions on mummification, the Book of the Dead, and the Amarna period.
