From the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under Narmer to the Arab Spring that toppled Hosni Mubarak, 'The History of Egypt' traces 5,000 years of civilization along the Nile. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through the Old Kingdom’s pyramid builders, the religious revolution of Akhenaten, the empire of Ramesses II, and the Ptolemaic era of Cleopatra. Explore the Persian, Greek, Roman, and Arab conquests; the Mamluk sultanate; Ottoman rule; the British occupation; and the rise of modern nationalism under Nasser. Debates include the nature of pharaonic divinity, the role of the Nile in state formation, the impact of the Hyksos, and the legacy of colonialism on Egypt's identity today. How did a narrow river valley produce one of the world's most enduring civilizations? Join us as we unravel the layers of a land where history is written in stone. #AncientEgypt #Pharaohs #NileRiver #OldKingdom #NewKingdom #Akhenaten #RamessesII #Cleopatra #PtolemaicDynasty #ArabConquest #MamlukSultanate #OttomanEgypt #BritishOccupation #Nasser #ArabSpring #EgyptianHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • The Famine Stela: How Khnum Saved Egypt During a 7-Year Drought

    The Famine Stela: How Khnum Saved Egypt During a 7-Year Drought
    2026/07/21
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Famine Stela, a remarkable inscription from the Ptolemaic period carved on Sehel Island near Aswan. The stela claims that the god Khnum ended a seven-year famine during the reign of King Djoser of the Third Dynasty, around 2700 BCE. But how much of this story is historical memory and how much is priestly propaganda from the time of Ptolemy V? Lucas unpacks the stela's description of a desperate drought, the Nilometer at Elephantine, and the temple lands that Khnum supposedly returned to the priesthood. He also discusses the discoveries of Sehel Island's rock inscriptions and the ongoing debate among Egyptologists about whether a real famine actually occurred in Djoser's reign. From the granite quarries of Aswan to the cult center of Khnum at Esna, this episode reveals how a sacred text can blur the line between history, theology, and political maneuvering. #FamineStela #Khnum #Djoser #SehelIsland #Elephantine #Nilometer #PtolemyV #OldKingdom #PtolemaicPeriod #Egyptology #AncientDrought #RosettaStone #Satet #Anuket #Aswan #NorthAfrica #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    2026/07/20
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Great Harris Papyrus, a 40-meter-long document from the reign of Ramesses III that inventories the vast wealth of Egypt's temples. Discover how this ancient administrative record reveals the economic power of the priesthood, the scale of temple landholdings, and the distribution of offerings. Learn about the Papyrus's discovery in a tomb at Medinet Habu, its role in legitimizing Ramesses IV's succession, and what it tells us about state-temple relations in the Twentieth Dynasty. A look at Egypt's most detailed ancient balance sheet and its implications for understanding pharaonic power. #GreatHarrisPapyrus #RamessesIII #RamessesIV #MedinetHabu #TempleEconomy #AncientAdministration #Thebes #TwentiethDynasty #AmunRa #Priesthood #EgyptianTemples #Papyrus #NewKingdom #Egyptology #FexingoHistory #History #NorthAfrica #AncientEgypt Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Meroitic Script: Kush's Undeciphered Writing System

    The Meroitic Script: Kush's Undeciphered Writing System
    2026/07/20
    In Episode 170 of The History of Egypt, Lucas and Luna journey south to explore the Meroitic script, the still-partially-undeciphered writing system of the Kingdom of Kush. After the Kushite pharaohs of the 25th Dynasty returned to Napata and later Meroë, they developed their own language and script to express a distinct Nubian identity. Lucas explains the two forms of Meroitic: a hieroglyphic script used for monumental inscriptions, and a cursive form for everyday documents. He highlights the breakthrough of Francis Llewellyn Griffith, who deciphered the script's phonetic values in 1909 using funerary inscriptions with known names. But the meaning of most Meroitic words remains a mystery, as no bilingual Rosetta Stone equivalent has been found. Luna asks about recent efforts, leading to a discussion of the Meroitic Language Foundation and crowdsourced transcription projects. The episode touches on key sites like Meroë, Naga, and Musawwarat es-Sufra, and mentions rulers such as King Arikamaninote and Queen Amanitore. The hosts reflect on what the script reveals about Kushite culture, trade, and Egyptian influences, and why deciphering it could reshape our understanding of ancient Africa. #MeroiticScript #KingdomOfKush #Meroë #AncientNubia #FrancisGriffith #Arikamaninote #Amanitore #Napata #Naga #MusawwaratEsSufra #Decipherment #25thDynasty #UndecipheredScripts #Egyptology #AncientLanguages #AfricanHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
