201. 520s BC Part 1 Cambyses vs Egypt

In the 520s BC, the Pyramids were already 2,000 years old! Now the upstart Persian Empire with only their 2nd king is going to try to add the ancient kingdom to their collection of ancient Empires. Will their strategy using "los gatos" work?

Find out on this first of many episodes on the 520s BC where we have some great stories from Herodotus and other ancient authors.
