367. Ancient Egypt: “Tut-mania” And Tutankhamun’s Tomb (Ep 6)

Wow, hello and welcome to Empire with me, Anita Arnand. And me, William DeRimple. Now, in the last episode, we saw the end of Agnarton's dynasty with the death of the boy king Tutankhamun, who had no heirs. Today we bring you a special episode to wrap up the series we are discussing when everyone went crazy for Tut, in the aftermath of the incredible 1922 discovery. We are joined once again by the brilliant and wonderful my compatriot, Dr.

Campbell Price. Hi, hi, hi, nice to be back. We're so delighted to have you back. We we did an uh bonus episode for for anybody who wants to go and listen where we talked in-depth about the discovery of Tutankharmoon's tomb. For those of you who want to listen to it, join our club, empirepoduk.com, empirepoduk.com.

But it, you know, we talked about this man, Howard Carter. Unlikely because he wasn't from one of, you know, sort of the top notches of of British education establishment, an Egyptologist who discovers the intact tomb of Tutankhamun. It's the best preserved phononic tomb in existence. And Howard Carter, after this 1922 discovery, Campbell, the world goes nuts for King Tut. They do, uh, Anita, they absolutely do.
