This is an IHeart podcast.

Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, a production of IHeart Radio.

Hey, welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind. My name is Robert Lamb.

And I'm Joe McCormick.

And we are kicking off our spooky content today.

I guess we already kind of kicked this off with Weird House Cinema.

But at this point, we are definitely sliding into October.

And if you've listened to the show before, you know that this is a time for us to get into a lot of horror-themed content, Halloween-y content.

And that includes episodes of weird house cinema, that includes short episodes.

And of course, it includes core episodes of stuff to blow your mind.

So that's going to be the course for the month on the whole.

There is going to be our fall break week, as usual, in which we'll have

reruns. But guess what? All of those reruns are going to be Halloween content as well. So we will

keep the Halloween train rolling. Oh, I mean, what's more frightening than a visitor from the past?

There you go. There you go. That kind of ties into some of what we'll be talking about here today.

Because in today's episode, we're going to dive into the world. We're going to return, really, to the world of ancient Egyptian curses. We've touched on some of this before. When we frequently come back to Egyptology related content, either talking about archaeological finds and the history of ancient Egypt,

we're talking about something in ancient Egyptian religion that's really fascinating,

or of course, anything in sort of in the realm of Egyptomania, you know, this long-lasting

fascination that other cultures have had with the culture and the ideas and even

just the look and the feel of ancient Egypt. So in this episode, we're going to talk about

ancient Egyptian religious practices, ancient Egyptian magic. We're going to also look at this

idea of the curse in ancient Egypt and with some specific examples, I think mostly related to tombs.
