From the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under Narmer to the Arab Spring that toppled Hosni Mubarak, 'The History of Egypt' traces 5,000 years of civilization along the Nile.

Explore the Persian, Greek, Roman, and Arab conquests; the Mamluk sultanate; Ottoman rule; the British occupation; and the rise of modern nationalism under Nasser. Debates include the nature of pharaonic divinity, the role of the Nile in state formation, the impact of the Hyksos, and the legacy of colonialism on Egypt's identity today.

  • The Ptolemies: Alexander's Heirs on the Egyptian Throne

    The Ptolemies: Alexander's Heirs on the Egyptian Throne
    2026/06/08
    Episode 86 of The History of Egypt dives into the Ptolemaic dynasty — the Greek Macedonian family who ruled Egypt for nearly 300 years after Alexander the Great's conquest. Lucas and Luna explore how Ptolemy I Soter, one of Alexander's generals, seized Egypt and founded a dynasty that blended Greek and Egyptian traditions. They discuss the creation of Alexandria as a cultural capital, the Ptolemaic adoption of pharaonic titles and temple-building, the brutal family feuds that plagued the dynasty, and the gradual decline that led to Cleopatra VII's final confrontation with Rome. Along the way, they touch on key figures like Ptolemy II Philadelphus, the Great Library of Alexandria, the Rosetta Stone's Ptolemaic context, and the revolt of the Egyptian priest Harmachis. This episode offers a fresh angle not covered in prior episodes on the Mamluks, Nubian pharaohs, or Cleopatra's navy. #Ptolemies #PtolemyISoter #PtolemyIIPhiladelphus #Alexandria #LibraryOfAlexandria #Pharaoh #HellenisticEgypt #SeleucidEmpire #CleopatraVII #RosettaStone #Soter #Philadelphus #Epigoni #Harmachis #PtolemaicDynasty #NorthAfrica #AncientEgypt #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Battle of Pelusium: Egypt's Humiliation by Cambyses

    The Battle of Pelusium: Egypt's Humiliation by Cambyses
    2026/06/07
    Lucas and Luna dive into the Battle of Pelusium (525 BCE), where the Persian king Cambyses II crushed the last native pharaoh, Psamtik III, and ended Egypt's 26th Dynasty. They explore Herodotus's dramatic (and possibly embellished) account of the battle, including the legendary use of cats as Persian shields against the cat-loving Egyptians. The episode examines the political chaos leading to the invasion—including the fateful advice of the Greek mercenary Phanes to Cambyses—and the aftermath: the capture of Memphis, the humiliation of Psamtik III, and the beginning of nearly two centuries of Persian rule. Lucas clarifies what we actually know versus what comes from Greek sources, and discusses the archaeological and textual evidence for the battle. They also touch on the continuity of Egyptian culture under Persian rule and the rebellion of Inaros in 460 BCE. #BattleOfPelusium #CambysesII #PsamtikIII #Herodotus #AchaemenidEmpire #26thDynasty #AncientEgypt #PersianInvasion #Cats #Phanes #Memphis #Pelusium #Inaros #PelusiacBranch #FexingoHistory #HistoryPodcast #NorthAfrica #AncientWarfare Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Sobek and the Crocodile Cult: Egypt's Nile Temple of Kom Ombo

    Sobek and the Crocodile Cult: Egypt's Nile Temple of Kom Ombo
    2026/06/07
    Episode 84 dives into the cult of Sobek, the crocodile-headed god of the Nile, and the unique dual temple of Kom Ombo in southern Egypt. Lucas and Luna explore how Sobek worship began in the Faiyum during the Old Kingdom, evolved through the Middle Kingdom, and reached a peak under Ptolemaic and Roman rule. They discuss the sacred crocodile breeding, the discovery of hundreds of mummified crocodiles, and the temple's unusual symmetrical design honoring both Sobek and the falcon god Haroeris. The episode also covers Sobek's role in creation myths, his association with pharaohs like Amenemhat III, and the startling practices at Crocodilopolis. The conversation weaves in archaeological finds, ancient accounts from Herodotus and Strabo, and the practical reasons behind the cult's endurance. A surprising link emerges between crocodile worship and water management in the Faiyum's irrigation system, connecting religion to daily survival on the Nile. #Sobek #KomOmbo #CrocodileCult #AncientEgypt #PtolemaicEgypt #Haroeris #Faiyum #Crocodilopolis #AmenemhatIII #Herodotus #Strabo #NileGods #MummifiedCrocodiles #EgyptianReligion #TempleArchitecture #WaterManagement #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
