Episode Details

Approximately 3,400 years ago, Egypt was at the height of its power during the 18th Dynasty. 

In the midst of this period came a Pharoah who completely upended Egyptian society. He built an entirely new capital, created an entirely new religion, neglected his empire, and ultimately caused the destruction of his dynasty. 

Yet, despite his historical importance, we didn’t even know he existed for almost 3000 years.
