  • 1. Vault of the Heavens — College Students Enter the Pyramid of Unas and the Door Locks Behind Them

    1. Vault of the Heavens — College Students Enter the Pyramid of Unas and the Door Locks Behind Them
    Jan 23 2023
    Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt begins here — with the night a group of college students enters the Pyramid of Unas and cannot get back out. They found the access point three weeks ago — an unmapped entrance on the pyramid's northern face that does not appear in any of the official archaeological records. Tonight they are going in. Their equipment is good. Their maps are thorough. Their plan is solid. And the door locks behind them before they have gone twenty feet into the tunnel. The Pyramid of Unas, completed around 2350 BCE, contains the oldest known religious texts in the world — the Pyramid Texts, spells designed to protect the pharaoh's soul on its journey through the Duat, the Egyptian underworld. The students are about to discover that those texts were not merely decorative. Written by Sarah Pitard. Directed by Jack Bowman. Score by Talip Peshkepia. Sound design by Jan Piasecki. Executive produced by Cassie Jozefov. A Violet Hour Media production. LISTENER WARNING: This program includes subject matter that may be upsetting for some listeners.

    2. The Ennead — The Nine Gods of Egypt Are Watching and the Students Are Not Supposed to Be Here
    Jan 30 2023
    Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt deepens its supernatural world — the nine gods of ancient Egypt make their presence known. The Ennead — Atum, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut, Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys — the nine deities of the Heliopolis creation myth, the divine council that governs the Egyptian underworld. The students have been moving through the tunnels for hours now. The maps no longer match what they are finding. And in the dark behind them, something is following at a distance that never changes, no matter how fast they walk. Written by Sarah Pitard. Directed by Jack Bowman. Score by Talip Peshkepia. Sound design by Jan Piasecki. Executive produced by Cassie Jozefov. A Violet Hour Media production. LISTENER WARNING: This program includes subject matter that may be upsetting for some listeners.

    3. When It Is Dark, When It Is Dark — Something Is Moving in the Tunnels and the Lights Are Gone
    Feb 6 2023
    Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt plunges into total darkness — and the thing in the tunnels moves closer. The battery packs failed without warning. They are forty minutes into a tunnel system they have not fully mapped, in total darkness, with no way to tell which direction leads back to the entrance and which leads deeper. In ancient Egyptian funerary texts, the darkness of the Duat is described not as an absence of light but as a substance — something alive, something with weight and intention. The students are beginning to understand what that means. Written by Sarah Pitard. Directed by Jack Bowman. Score by Talip Peshkepia. Sound design by Jan Piasecki. Executive produced by Cassie Jozefov. A Violet Hour Media production. LISTENER WARNING: This program includes subject matter that may be upsetting for some listeners.

    4. An Imperishable Spirit — The Egyptian Underworld Is Real and One of Them May Not Come Back
    Feb 13 2023
    Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt reaches its first breaking point — the Egyptian underworld is not a metaphor, and not everyone survives the Duat. In ancient Egyptian belief, the soul is composed of multiple parts — the Ba, the Ka, the Ren, the Sheut, and the Akh, the imperishable spirit that survives death if the soul passes judgment. The students are no longer entirely certain they are in the physical pyramid. The tunnels have changed. The air is different. And one of them has not responded in twenty minutes. Written by Sarah Pitard. Directed by Jack Bowman. Score by Talip Peshkepia. Sound design by Jan Piasecki. Executive produced by Cassie Jozefov. A Violet Hour Media production. LISTENER WARNING: This program includes subject matter that may be upsetting for some listeners.

    5. The Duat — They Have Crossed Into the Egyptian Underworld and the Rules Have Changed
    Feb 20 2023
    Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt crosses the threshold — the students are no longer in the physical world. The Duat in ancient Egyptian belief is not a place the living can visit. It is the realm through which the dead travel on their way to judgment — a landscape of rivers, gates, and monsters, governed by Osiris and patrolled by Anubis. The students have found themselves inside it. They are alive, which is not how this is supposed to work. And the dead who surround them do not know what to do with that. Written by Sarah Pitard. Directed by Jack Bowman. Score by Talip Peshkepia. Sound design by Jan Piasecki. Executive produced by Cassie Jozefov. A Violet Hour Media production. LISTENER WARNING: This program includes subject matter that may be upsetting for some listeners.

  • 6. In the Hall of Two Truths — Their Hearts Are Being Weighed Against the Feather of Ma'at

    6. In the Hall of Two Truths — Their Hearts Are Being Weighed Against the Feather of Ma'at
    Feb 27 2023
    Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt arrives at the Hall of Two Truths — the judgment chamber of Osiris, where every soul must face the weighing of the heart. In the Duat, after death, every soul is brought before Osiris and the forty-two judges of Ma'at. The heart — seat of the soul, repository of every action and every sin — is placed on one side of the scales. On the other side is the feather of Ma'at, symbol of truth and cosmic order. If the heart is heavier than the feather, Ammit devours it and the soul ceases to exist. If it is lighter, the soul passes on. The students are standing in front of the scales. They are not dead. That has never happened before. Written by Sarah Pitard. Directed by Jack Bowman. Score by Talip Peshkepia. Sound design by Jan Piasecki. Executive produced by Cassie Jozefov. A Violet Hour Media production. LISTENER WARNING: This program includes subject matter that may be upsetting for some listeners.

    7. May Thy Face Look Backward — The Way Out Is Behind Them and Something Is Standing in Front of It
    Mar 6 2023
    Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt reaches its penultimate episode — the way out exists, but it is not unguarded. In the Pyramid Texts, the phrase "may thy face look backward" is a protective spell — a command to look back toward the living world rather than forward into the dark of the Duat. The students have found what they believe is the path back to the physical pyramid. The tunnel ahead leads upward. The air is different. And standing in the tunnel, between them and the way out, is something that has been following them since the door locked. Written by Sarah Pitard. Directed by Jack Bowman. Score by Talip Peshkepia. Sound design by Jan Piasecki. Executive produced by Cassie Jozefov. A Violet Hour Media production. LISTENER WARNING: This program includes subject matter that may be upsetting for some listeners. Popular Topics Include: Egyptian mythology horror podcast, Pyramid Texts, penultimate episode horror, Egyptian underworld escape, mythology horror audio drama, supernatural horror podcast, pyramid horror, claustrophobic horror podcast, audio drama, horror podcast like The Magnus Archives, horror podcast like The White Vault, Egyptian mythology fiction, Violet Hour Media.
