Whether it's an under the radar genre or a proper out there podcast, sometimes it's better when you get weird, especially when it comes to switching up your soft drink, introducing new Dr Pepper Zero

with the same blend of 23 unique flavors,

it tastes just as weird as regular Dr Pepper,

but with zero sugar and zero calories.

It's a taste you can't quite put your finger on.

Weird. But in a surprisingly good way, try more weird with Dr Pepper Zero. And the Oh, The Hello and welcome to a history of Egypt podcast mini episode love songs. Today we look at some romantic writings from Egypt's

new kingdom and how the ancients sang of their passions, flirtations and

romances. From that first rush of the heart to the sweet promise, Egyptian

texts give us wonderful glimpses at their innermost feelings. It is time for some

affairs of the heart.

Are you ready? Every relationship begins with that first rush. The accelerated heartbeat, the tingle in your stomach.

The warm feeling in your heart which makes you suddenly realize,

oh, I like this person. The Egyptians experienced that feeling every day of course.

And like any good romantic some of them put pen to paper and

turned their thrumming infatuation into elaborate poetry like most poems many of them extol the beauty and virtues of the one whom they desire.

Quote,

My beloved is unique with no equal, more beautiful than anyone. Behold she is like the star, rising at the

beginning of the good year, dazzling, excellent, fair of complexion.

She is beautiful when eyes behold.

Her lips are sweet when speaking.

She has no excessive words."

End quote.
