Summary

Royal Children On the Rise. From 1385 to 1380, the prince of Egypt Thutmose was climbing up the ranks. From a lowly sem-priest to the chief of a great temple, Thutmose was a quickly rising star. His sister, Sit-Amun, also leaves a tantalizing trace of her life. We explore a non-royal funeral, the cult of the Apis Bull, and see how a prince of Egypt left some wonderful personal records, including those of his pet. Part of this episode was revised & re-recorded in 2026. Music by Keith Zizza www.keithzizza.com, used with artist's permission. Website: www.egyptianhistorypodcast.com.
