Oh, hey, it's still that guy at the gym who's using a foam roller on his IT band and trying not to cry.

Alley Ward, here we are, part two of a two guest episode on mummification.

All your juicy, all your dry dusty questions. Obviously start with part one in which we navigate

ancient tombs. We decipher coffin engravings, learn about natural and less natural

mummification techniques. We discuss the terminology. natural and we find out how these two guests

around the word mummy and we find out how these two guests

careers and their friendship go way back.

Now again we have returning guests from the Egyptology episode Dr.

Karakuni who's a professor of Egyptian art and architecture at UCLA and

she's an Egyptian coffins expert and author of a new book, Recycling for Death, Coffin Reuse in ancient Egypt,

and the Theban Royal Cash's, among many other books. And since this is a two-fer, as we discussed,

it's a BOGO, and it's a two-parter, two experts.

We also have Cairo-based professor of Egyptology and archaeology at the American

University in Cairo and author of the new book, Let A Cow Skin Be Brought,

Armor, Chariots, and other leather remains in Tooten Commons Tomb,

among other books.
