51: Dynasty 13 and the Tale of the Eloquent Peasant

Dynasty 13: Invisible Kings. From 1770 to 1700, the 13th Dynasty produced a vast number of kings, but we know almost nothing about them, for reasons that remain challenging to understand. We also explore the Tale of the Eloquent Peasant, a wonderful story of wrongdoing and the search for justice. Website: www.egyptianhistorypodcast.com.
