Ramessid Biographies with Prof. Elizabeth Frood (Re-Release)

My guest today is Prof. Elizabeth Frood, Associate Professor of Egyptology and Director of the Griffith Institute at the University of Oxford, UK. In a lively discussion, Dr. Frood shares her insights into ancient lives and how people living in the non-royal sphere approached their immortality. Statues, texts and graffiti show us the minds of these people and how they depicted their concerns, beliefs and ideas. It's a great conversation and I think you'll really enjoy it!

202: A Valley of the Queens & The Womb of Hathor

The Place of Beauties (Ta-Set-Neferu). In the reigns of Ramesses I and Sety I (c.1304—1292 BCE), the Valley of the Queens finally earned its moniker. Having been a burial ground for royal children and courtiers, the wadi south of Deir el-Medina now began to host ruling women. In the days of Sety I, the Queen Mother Sitra and the Queen Tuya both received new tomb constructions in this site. Their monuments include evocative passages from the Book of the Dead (Chapter 17), and hints of the wonders to come in future generations… Tombs discussed in this episode: Princess Iah-Mes / Ahmose: Museo Egizio, Turin and Theban Mapping Project. Queen Sitra: Theban Mapping Project. Queen Tuya: Theban Mapping Project. Queen Nefertari: Theban Mapping Project and digital reconstruction at Nefertari Tomb. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dendera: Temple of Time with José M. Barrera

Hathor's temple at Dendera is one of the best in Egypt. Constructed in the late 1st Millennium BCE (but with roots stretching back to the Old Kingdom), Hathor’s house preserves amazing art, hieroglyphs, and secrets. It is a temple that today’s guest, José M. Barrera, devoted a great deal of energy to documenting. The result is a wonderful study of Hathor’s celestial realm… See José's amazing photography of Dendera's ceiling and learn more about his book Dendera: The Temple of Time (2024) at his website: https://josemariabarrera.com/dendera/ See the video version of this interview at https://youtu.be/7xjUzTcRMH0 Website: www.egyptianhistorypodcast.com.

Dominic knows his stuff—he has actually translated hieroglyphics!—and I appreciate his emphasis on everyday life and the “little guy.” The unintentional humor comes from his swooning over all the great queens, who he inevitably falls in love with the more he discusses them. The intentional humor ain’t bad either. Really brings Egypt to life!
Great way to learn about ancient Egypt

This is an amazing podcast! I have learned more about the history of ancient Egypt than in any survey course or book that I might have taken. Much more than names, dates and highlights, Dominic offers a comprehensive insight into all things Egyptian, including history, literature, culture and tie ins with the history of surrounding territories. Excellently produced and well-presented, it is easy to follow, lean and make sense of one of the longest-lasting civilizations.

This is a great podcast. However he does simp for every Egyptian woman mentioned. He also loves interpreting Egyptian history to include homosexuals and transgenders with dubious evidence. And in his defense he admits the evidence is not that great. If you can get past that this is a great podcast to learn about ancient Egypt
