The Annexe and End of Excavation. Howard Carter uncovered the tomb of King Tutankhamun in November 1922. He would continue labouring in the monument until 1927, and the final conservation of objects would finish in 1932. Over these ten years of work, Carter tackled many challenges, some of which proved insurmountable. In the end, his labour, and the story of Tutankhamun's burial, stand as a testament to human effort and long legacies.Episode Chapters:Chapter 15: The Scouring of the Tomb 00:00:15Chapter 16: The End of Excavations 00:31:50Series Conclusion: 00:52:30Episode Links:For the full archive of Harry Burton's photographs, showing the tomb of Tutankhamun in its original state, see the Griffith Institute website.Date: 1922 CE - 1932 CE.Logo image: A ceremonial shield belonging to the King.

Treasured Heirlooms. East of the Burial Chamber, in Tutankhamun's tomb, the per hedj ("Treasury") contained a smorgasbord of beautiful objects. Some of these were sacred, like the canopic vessels for Tutankhamun's organs. Others were symbolic, connecting the pharaoh with great gods like Osiris. And still others were curious, including some "heirlooms" from earlier rulers and generations...

Note: Due to technical difficulties, there's some interference and muffled audio on Daniel's side of the conversation but it shouldn't disrupt things too much. We'll make sure it's sorted out by the next episode.Some days you just want to pass out in a pleasant field and have all your major misdeeds wiped from existence. Welcome to the first act of Faust Part 2 in which the whole of Faust Part 1 is either negated or ignored. Will Faust find redemption? Is Gretchen damned? Who cares! There's a new emperor in town and he wants to party and man is Faust lucky that this rowdy king is in need of a conjuror! Let's ignore the ponderousness and follow Faust and Mephistopheles as they pull their P.T. Barnum act and put on a show. Join Daniel and Claude as they discuss how co-opted characters from Shakespeare absolve Faust at the outset, why Mephistopheles is so keen to switch the economy to paper money, and what exactly the Mothers are in terms of chthonic deities.

It's Don Quixote Book 2, all of the mind-bending reality questioning of a Christopher Nolan film and none of the portentousness! Daniel and Claude and Sancho and the Don join forces to face down our delusions and accept that the “real world” may just be yet another permutation of our individual fantasies. Is Don Quixote's descent into the Cave of Montesinos an early exploration of the idea of the unconscious? Is Sancho secretly the most capable member of the party? Could chivalric manners be the best solution to a rising culture of xenophobia? Are the aristocracy really just a bunch of useless, corrupt, money-wasting fools?

And we're finally on the road with book one of Don Quixote. When you look around and realize you're just a burnt out old man why not reinvent yourself as your personal ideal? Is that any more ridiculous than inadvertently basing every move in your life on other narratives? Daniel and I discuss reinvention in 17th century Spain and speculate on the effects the Reconquista and Inquisition (i.e., ethnic cleansing) may have had on this particular motif in Don Quixote.
