We often think of Egyptian Pharaohs as glamorous god-king of Ancient times, yet the truth of these people is a lot, lot darker. Who was the first Pharaoh? What shocking, violent stories surround some of these figures? How did their rule of Ancient Egypt come to an end? Joining Anthony and Maddy today is the always-fantastic Campbell Price, Egyptologist at University of Liverpool, and curator of Egypt and Sudan at the Manchester Museum. Edited by Matthew Wilson.
