Have you ever wondered what it might be like to have lived like a Pharaoh? Walked like an Egyptian? Reached the top of the Pyramid? Ancient Egypt continues to be one of the most enduring mysteries for our modern world, a source of never ending fascination. But as much as we know about pyramids and mummy's, we know very little about what life might have been like thousands of years ago on the shores of the Nile. Join Peter and Richard as they are taken on a journey through time with one of the top Egyptologists in the world. Dr. Salima Ikram is a distinguished professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo.
NOTE: What If Discussed is on hiatus. The former producer and co-host of "What IF Discussed" asked and tried to answer lots of question on the show along with the top names in science. Join him now as he looks to go deeper, ask bigger questions with world thought leaders with nuance, objectivity and context on "A Third Way". - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK1ZkAdeQ6UGJ_duA2FzEfg
