Episode 229 - Moshoeshoe and the Red Dust, How War and famine led to British rule in Lesotho - we're speeding up on the trek along history's trail. First, a word about the Boer Basotho War of 1865-1868. The 1850s and 1860s marked a period of profound demographic disruption for the Basotho as the borders of Moshoeshoe the First's kingdom shifted repeatedly under pressure from colonial conflict and Boer expansion, waves of refugees poured both in and out of the territory. By 1865, the population of what is now Lesotho was estimated at 180,000 which was a sharp increase from five years earlier. Then drought and a three year war against the Boers of the Free State had induced famine by 1868, and Moshoeshoe the First was running out of options as some of his people left the region. The war had created an immediate famine condition, exacerbated by the drought, and this had a knock-on effect when it came to politics and human migration. After the territorial competition between the BaSotho and their African neighbours subsided to some extent as the Basotho emerged as a nation, the struggle against the Boers of the Free State gained momentum. Growth in the economies of both the Free State and Basotho had produced an ongoing competition for land and when drought struck, it stimulated violence. It's important to stress how the Free State economy had shifted from herding cattle to sheep — mainly as a result of Great Britain's demand for wool. The Boers regarded the English as an oppressive occupying force, but that didn't stop farmers of the Free State making a buck off the empire when they could. This is reflected in trade data - in 1852 exports from the Orange River Sovereignty to Natal, the Cape and England totalled 256 000 pounds, with wool making up 230 000 pounds of that trade. In a census of 1856, Boers had 1.2 million sheep and goats, and only 137 000 head of cattle. But the golden years of wool exports were over by the mid-1860s. The terrible droughts of 1860 and 1861 were known as the Red Dust when the Caledon River dried up for the only time in anyone's memory. If you want the full background, I covered the outbreak of the Boer Basotho war of 1865 in an earlier episode, along with the causes. The drought, and the scorched earth policy adopted by Free State president Johannes Brand, left Moshoeshoe with little choice. He could either surrender and be known as the Basotho King who gave away his people to the Boers, or he could ask the British to declare Basotholand a British Protectorate. Some have said cynically that the British were entertaining this anyway, hungry for more land and even more so after the discovery of diamonds — but that's tautological when it comes to Basotholand. The diamond discovery took place after Basotholand was folded into the British empire. Still, we need to burrow into how this all worked out, the diplomacy and wheeler-dealing was extraordinary. By the end of 1867 the successes of the Boer commandos in their raids into Basotholand had put an end to the prospect that the Free State burghers would voluntarily submit to the reimposition of British control. Eugene Casalis, the French missionary who had spent so much time in Basotholand, sailed to England from France to urge the British Government to intervene. This was not a lightweight ecclesiastical mission, Casalis had established a mission station at Morija at the foot of Moshoeshoe's royal mountain Thaba Bosiu in 1833. He translated the gospel of Mark into isiSotho, and was revered for his political advice to Moshoeshoe. The Duke of Buckingham who had succeeded Lord Carnarvon as Colonial Secretary in March 1867, was all ears. They say timing matters, and it so happened that CB Adderley who was parliamentary Under-Secretary was in favour of intervention provided it could be managed without expense. IE, without sending an army to fight the Boers. On the 9th December, Buckingham instructed Wodehouse to treat with Moshoeshoe.

Come along for the chilling tale of a mummy's curse. Find all of our wonderful links on the linktree: https://linktr.ee/allts   The "curse of King Tut" is a captivating tale that has woven itself into the fabric of Egyptian archaeological lore. It centers around the alleged misfortunes that befell those involved in the discovery of Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922. Here's a look at the narrative: The Discovery and Early Events: When Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon opened the tomb, it was a momentous occasion. However, soon after, a series of unsettling events began to occur. Lord Carnarvon's untimely death, just months after the tomb's opening, fueled the burgeoning belief in a pharaoh's curse. Reports of other individuals associated with the excavation experiencing sudden illnesses, accidents, and even deaths further solidified the notion of a supernatural force at work. The Spread of the Legend: The media played a significant role in amplifying the stories, creating a widespread sense of mystery and fear. The idea of an ancient Egyptian curse, protecting the pharaoh's resting place, captured the public's imagination. The Nature of the "Curse": Some accounts suggest that the curse was a direct act of vengeance by King Tutankhamun, while others propose that it was a more general manifestation of ancient Egyptian magic. There are also those who believe that ancient Egyptian priests put some form of protection on the tomb. Essentially, the "curse of King Tut" is a narrative that blends historical events with elements of mystery and the supernatural, creating a compelling and enduring legend.

What does it take to make the (arguably) greatest archaeological discovery of all time? Grit. Tenacity. Patience. Money money money, skill with a paintbrush, and the ghost of the past calling your name… so not even that much, really.Listen as Coco spills the hot Egyptian tea on beige-boy Howard Carter, his rich bro benefactor Lord Carnarvon, some dude named Winlock, and the nameless (true heroes) Egyptian laborers responsible for discovering the tomb of Tutankhamun.Then dive right into the myth of the mummy's curse and decide for yourself if the deaths associated with the discovery of Tut's tomb were the result of an ancient curse, or just coincidences. As usual, Madi and Coco can't make up their damn minds.Follow that up with a fresh hot cup of brotherly revenge, brought to you by Betsy - who kicks the whole thing off with a super catchy impromptu theme song.

History Of Egypt, Chaldæa, Syria, Babylonia, and Assyria is the masterwork of one of the fathers of modern egyptology. This work, in twelve volumes, was translated from the French original, “Histoire ancienne des peuples de l'Orient classique” and published in 1903-1904. Maspero was a largely self-taught master of hieroglyphic translation. In November 1880, he was placed at the head of a French archeological mission, which developed later into the Institut Français d'Archéologie Orientale. Maspero then succeeded Mariette as director-general of excavations and of the antiquities of Egypt.“Aware that his reputation was then more as a linguist than an archaeologist, Maspero's first work in the post was to build on Mariette's achievements at Saqqara. He expanded their scope from the early Old Kingdom to the later, with particular interest in tombs with long and complete hieroglyphic inscriptions that could help illustrate the development of the Egyptian language. Selecting five later Old Kingdom tombs, he was successful in that aim, finding over 4000 lines of hieroglyphics which were then sketched and photographed.“As an aspect of his attempt to curtail the rampant illegal export of Egyptian antiquities by tourists, collectors and agents for the major European and American museums, Maspero arrested the Abd al-Russul brothers from the notorious treasure-hunting village of Gorna, who confessed under torture to having found the great cache of royal mummies at Deir el-Bahri in July 1881. The cache was moved to Cairo as soon as possible to keep it safe from robbers.“In 1886 he resumed work begun by Mariette to uncover the Sphinx, removing more than 65 feet of sand and seeking tombs below it (which he did not find, but have later been found but not opened).”Maspero went on to sponsor and expand the system of national museums and presided over the growing collection of the Bulak Museum. Maspero gave a 17 year old Howard Carter his first Egyptological job – and it was he who recommended Carter to Lord Carnarvon. Carter and Carnarvon would go on to discover the tomb of King Tutankhaman.In the first volume of this master work, Maspero tackles the importance of the Nile, the pantheon of Egyptian gods, and the legendary history of Egyptian gods.

Le 6 novembre 1922, un télégramme bouleverse le monde de l'égyptologie : Howard Carter annonce à son mécène, Lord Carnarvon, la découverte d'une tombe royale inviolée dans la Vallée des Rois. Après dix ans de recherches acharnées, les deux hommes ont enfin mis au jour le tombeau de Toutankhamon. L'excitation est à son comble, mais la joie de cette découverte sera rapidement assombrie par une série d'événements tragiques. Moins d'un an plus tard, Lord Carnarvon décède dans des circonstances mystérieuses, une morsure d'insecte infectée ayant entraîné une septicémie. La presse s'empare de l'affaire et répand la rumeur d'une malédiction lancée par le pharaon troublé dans sa dernière demeure. Au cours des années suivantes, 27 personnes liées de près ou de loin à la découverte de la tombe trouveront la mort, alimentant la légende. Bien que de nombreuses études aient démontré l'absence de preuves scientifiques corroborant l'existence d'une telle malédiction, le mystère demeure entier et continue de fasciner les amateurs d'égyptologie et les férus de l'occulte.

On November 26, 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter and his financier Lord Carnarvon, after years of searching, finally discovered the burial chamber of the young pharaoh Tutankhamun who ruled 1332 – 1323 B.C. during the late Eighteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. Unearthing the most well-preserved tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon became instant world-wide celebrities overnight, but all would not be well for long... Soon after opening Tutankhamun's tomb, several people who either entered his tomb, handled his artifacts or who were involved with the excavation of his tomb, began to die of rather strange circumstances... Were these unfortunate deaths the result of circumstantial coincidences or that of an ancient deadly curse? Watch this insightful new episode to learn more and share it with your friends who enjoy ancient history.

On November 26, 1922, Howard Carter prepared to enter the tomb of a little-known pharaoh. Nobody had set foot inside the space for over 3,000 years, but as Carter held up his candle, his partner, Lord Carnarvon who had financed the expedition called out asking if he saw anything. Carter responded, “Yes, wonderful things.” Though his reign may have been short, the treasures found in Tutankhamun's tomb have given him an outsized place in the history books and popular culture.

6 novembre 1922. Il est à peu près 10 heures lorsque Lord Carnarvon reçoit un télégramme pour le moins surprenant. Confortablement installé dans le bureau de son somptueux manoir anglais, il s'allume une cigarette avant de lire ces quelques mots : « Merveilleuse découverte dans la Vallée. Tombe superbe avec sceaux intacts. Attends votre arrivée pour ouvrir. Félicitations. H.C ». Si ces phrases abruptes peuvent sembler cryptiques pour le commun des mortels, Lord Carnarvon, lui, sait très bien de quoi il s'agit. Ce fameux « H.C », ce n'est autre qu'Howard Carter, son ami égyptologue, comme lui. Depuis une dizaine d'années, tous deux se sont mis en tête de découvrir la tombe du pharaon égyptien Toutankhamon. Se pourrait-il que ce soit justement « la merveilleuse découverte » d'Howard Carter ? Ni une, ni deux, Lord Carnarvon remplit son bagage en cuir de quelques vêtements, avant de quitter la Grande Bretagne pour se précipiter en Égypte. Plus précisément à Louxor, où son ami archéologue l'attend. Ce qu'il ne sait pas encore, c'est que la découverte du tombeau de Toutankhamon va emmener avec elle son lot de malheurs… jusqu'à devenir une véritable malédiction qui va frapper toutes celles et ceux qui s'en approcheraient d'un peu trop près.

En especial para este verano les presentamos un episodio  que nos han solicitado mucho, la historia del descubrimiento de la tumba y la maldicón de Tutankamón. Todo comenzó en 1892 cuando, todavía adolescente, el británico Howard Carter llegó a Egipto para trabajar como dibujante de los artefactos que con frecuencia eran encontrados en las numerosas excavaciones arqueológicas que se llevaban a cabo en diferentes partes del país. En 1907, Carter empezó a trabajar para el Conde de Carnarvon, mejor conocido como Lord Carnarvon, un noble inglés, rico y aficionado a la arqueología a quien debido a su mala salud, los médicos habían recomendado pasara más tiempo en el calor seco del país africano .

Le 26 novembre 1922 l'archéologue Howard Carter et son commanditaire Lord Carnarvon entraient pour la toute première fois dans le tombeau intacte d'un pharaon. L'événement était historique; pour la première fois la tombe d'un pharaon était découverte encore scellée et intacte sans que des pillards soient venu la vider. Pour la première fois depuis plus de 3000 ans quelqu'un entrait dans la tombe de Toutankhamon, pharaon qui aura régné environ 10 ans sur l'Égypte et décédé très jeune à l'âge de 19 ans.Dès les mois qui suivent l'ouverture de la crypte mortuaire des décès surviennent dans l'équipe qui a dérangée le repos éternel du pharaon.La légende de la malédiction de la momie était née. Une légende qui est encore très présente dans notre culture populaire. On vous emmène en voyage aujourd'hui jusqu'en Égypte pour découvrir cette fascinante histoire!

Jamie & Matt talk to Adam von Gootkin of Highclere Castle Gin and Nick Melillo from Foundation Cigars about the very special 100th anniversary celebration and the special releases.  More details on Limited Edition Barrel-Aged gin. Talk about luxury… This year marks the 100-year anniversary of the discovery of King Tutankhamun by famed archaeologist Howard Carter with the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, Lord Carnarvon's Great Grandfather. Founders of Highclere Castle Gin; Lord Carnarvon (Godson to The Queen) and CEO Adam von Gootkin have decided that to commemorate the anniversary, have barrel-aged Highclere Castle Gin for the last 2 years in Armagnac, Scotch, and American Oak barrels. Thus, creating a glorious spirit of Barrel Aged Highclere Castle Gin!  We also worked with famous Egyptologists John & Colleen Darnell on the bottle design to be as authentic to Egypt as possible and we nailed it! The bottle was a year in the making and simply stunning. There are only 2000 cases which will only be available through our website www.HighclereCastleGin.com at $99 a bottle for a short time.  This will NEVER be created again, and you don't want to miss the opportunity; trust me! More details on cigar: Foundation Cigar company has created the 3rd Highclere Castle Cigar release to pair with the barrel-aged gin, it's called the Senetjer Cigar which means incense in Egyptian. Here is a link with some pics and info on this glorious cigar.

All'1:55 del 4 aprile 1923, tutte le luci del Cairo, la capitale dell'Egitto, si spensero. Nello stesso preciso momento, Lord Carnarvon, un aristocratico inglese, morì di polmonite. Era stato il finanziatore di una delle più celebrate caccie al tesoro di tutti i tempi, la ricerca della tomba del faraone-fanciullo Tutankhamon. La sua morte diede inizio alla leggenda della maledizione dei faraoni che, secondo alcuni, avrebbe portato alla morte tutti coloro che disturbarono il sonno del faraone. Una storia sicuramente suggestiva, ma quanto realistica?Aderisci alla pagina PATREON e sostieni i miei progetti e il mio lavoro: http://patreon.com/massimopolidoroPartecipa e sostieni su TIPEEE il progetto del mio Tour 2022 in tutta Italia: https://it.tipeee.com/massimopolidoro Scopri il mio Corso online di Psicologia dell'insolito: https://www.massimopolidorostudio.com​Ricevi l'Avviso ai Naviganti, la mia newsletter settimanale: https://mailchi.mp/massimopolidoro/avvisoainaviganti e partecipa alle scelte della mia communitySeguimi:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/massimopolidoro/ Gruppo FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MassimoPolidoroFanClub Pagina FB: https://www.facebook.com/Official.Massimo.Polidoro Twitter: https://twitter.com/massimopolidoro Sito e blog: http://www.massimopolidoro.com Iscriviti al mio canale youtube: https://goo.gl/Xkzh8A

El 4 de noviembre se cumplieron 100 años del descubrimiento de la tumba del faraón egipcio Tutankamón, uno de los mayores hallazgos arqueológicos de todos los tiempos. En noviembre de 1922, después de seis temporadas de excavaciones infructuosas, el arqueólogo británico Howard Carter, su equipo egipcio y un mecenas británico, Lord Carnarvon, descubrieron la sepultura intacta de Tutankamón en el Valle de los Reyes, en el Alto Egipto. En el lugar se encontró también un tesoro funerario de 4.500 objetos, como muebles, joyas y estatuillas, repartidos en las cinco habitaciones del panteón. La tumba del joven faraón, que murió a los 19 años -aproximadamente en 1324 A.C.-, es el único mausoleo del antiguo Egipto que presenta un tesoro de tal magnitud. Las sepulturas de faraones y de personajes importantes descubiertas hasta entonces habían sido saqueadas a lo largo de los milenios. El hallazgo dio pie a un furor por lo egipcio, que se plasmó en diferentes productos culturales, como novelas y películas de momias. La Tertulia de los Viernes con Alejandro Abal, Juan Grompone, Susana Mangana y Gonzalo Pérez del Castillo.

In November of 1922, 100 years ago, Howard Carter, Lord Carnarvon and a team made the biggest discovery in Egyptian history in years. They found the tomb of King Tutankhamun, but the happiest was short lived. After the excavation of the child pharaoh's tomb, mysterious things started happening to some of the people involved. Could this have been the “ Curse of the Pharaoh's” or just a coincidence??  Sources:Mentalfloss BritanicaWiki SmithsonianMagArts and culture The guardian Case Suggestion form : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfIiYzvOtN0fXR6MrXkp8Avk6g48GHZFxYS-gSaZPJlc3ZBAg/viewform?usp=sf_linkVictims Advocacy form: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/mobile/folders/1M5ncHyfXM2wf3EW3FGhWS0VMY2B-fsu4?usp=forms_web&sort=13&direction=aListener Tale Submission form:https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/mobile/folders/1M5ncHyfXM2wf3EW3FGhWS0VMY2B-fsu4?usp=forms_web&sort=13&direction=aFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/293537479516378/?ref=share_group_linkinstagram: @BookedbaggedandtaggedThe Fight of My Life: Finding RubyTrue-crime meets social good: an immersive journey with Ruby in the fight of her life

In November of 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter, thanks to benefactor Lord Carnarvon, discovered the untouched tomb of Tutankhamun. Otherwise erased from history, the tomb of this 18th Dynasty Pharaoh would go on to change the world. Undoubtedly cited as one of the greatest archaeological finds in human history, do we really know what happened in November 1922? Or is there more to the story?In the second episode of our Tutankhamun series, Tristan is joined by Egyptologist and author Bob Brier a.k.a. “Mr Mummy”. Together they tell us the details of this groundbreaking discovery, and help illuminate the missing characters. How did Howard Carter stumble across a world changing archaeological find - and was it worth the breakdown in diplomatic relations that followed?Content Warning: This episode contains references to miscarriages that some listeners may find upsetting.For more Ancients content, subscribe to our Ancients newsletter here.

Esta semana se han cumplido 100 años del descubrimiento de la tumba del faraón Tutankamon y analizamos su repercusión en la Tertulia de ChicosEl 4 de noviembre de 1922 un grupo de trabajadores trabajaba bajo el sol egipcio. Están en medio del Valle de los Reyes. Trabajan desde hace tiempo en busca de una tumba. Esta expedición la financia un noble inglés entusiasta de la arqueología, Lord Carnarvon. Colabora desde hace varios años con un apasionado egiptólogo y arqueólogo, Howard Carter. Tras varias expediciones, y mucho dinero invertido, Lord Carnarvon empieza a ponerse nervioso. Llevan ocho años buscando una tumba egipcia y todavía no hay resultados. Por eso, ese 4 de noviembre de 1922 fue tan importante. El arduo trabajo, pero también el azar, revelaron ese día un tesoro que llevaba más de 2.000 años oculto bajo la arena del Valle de los Reyes. El enterramiento intacto de un joven faraón. Su nombre era Tutankamon. José Miguel Gaona, José Manuel Aguilar y la presidenta de la Asociación Española de Egiptología, Rosa Pujol, analizan en Fin de Semana por qué la cultura egipcia causa tanta fascinación miles de años después de su desaparición. “La cultura egipcia fue un icono pop” recuerda el psicólogo José Miguel Aguilar. Rosa Pujol relataba que “es el descubrimiento arqueológico más importante de los tiempos modernos. En esa tumba pudimos...

The theme of our recent Highclere Festival was the path to the discovery of  the tomb of Tutankhamun. It is an extraordinary tale of  two unconventional men, Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter, neither of whom had studied archaeology at university but both of whom, through experience and passion, found the most extraordinary tomb of a Pharaoh. It's the subject of my new book 'The Earl and the Pharaoh'. Joining us over the festival weekend to help further our understanding was egyptologist Professor Joann Fletcher - I couldn't resist luring her away to talk to her for my podcast! 

Le lieu de repos du légendaire pharaon Toutankhamon est sans l'ombre d'un doute le tombeau le plus connu d'Égypte. Construit il y a des milliers d'années et recherché par les archéologues occidentaux durant plus d'un siècle, il provoque dès son ouverture un soulèvement de l'opinion publique, libérant à la manière de la boîte de Pandore des histoires de malédictions et d'empoisonnement. Retraçons ensemble l'histoire de sa découverte et des événements qui ont suivi.

When Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon set out for Egypt's Valley of the Kings, they hoped to uncover secret tombs, lost in the sand. In 1922, their expedition succeeded — making history with a life-changing discovery. Then the untimely deaths began, and a rumor spread of a dark curse, unleashed by the trespassers.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

26. novembra 1922 nadišiel deň D. Nebol to len kľúčový deň v živote Howarda Cartera, ale aj v dejinách celej egyptológie. Keď sa Carter spolu so svojim podporovateľom a mecenášom Lordom Carnarvonom prekopali k druhým zapečateným dverám Tutanchamónovej hrobky v Údolí kráľov, urobil v rohu odhalenej steny malý otvor a vo svite malej sviečky sa mu odhalilo nesmierne bohatstvo. Všade sa lesklo zlato a keď sa ho Lord Carnarvon spýtal či niečo vidí, zmohol sa len na jednu a dnes už okrídlenú vetu: „Áno, vidím úžasné veci.“ Takto a či trochu inak sa zvykne opisovať onen slávny moment, keď sa na svetlo sveta opäť dostali poklady slávnej hrobky faraóna Tutanchamóna. Až dovtedy sa o tomto mladom egyptskom panovníkovi veľa nevedelo. Koniec-koncov, vládol príliš krátko, nevyznamenal sa ani žiadnymi vojenskými úspechmi, štátnickými rozhodnutiami či veľkými stavebnými projektmi. Skrátka, nesmrteľným sa stal len vďaka tomu, že jeho hrobka zostala po viac než tri tisícročia bokom, uchránená od zvedavosti vykrádačov. Mohla tak vydať dôležité svedectvo o dobe a živote starovekého Egypta. Odvtedy sa Tutanchamón stal pre bežného človeka synonymom egyptskej civilizácie a fascinujúcou vstupenkou do vzdialenej ľudskej epochy. Čo všetko sa v hrobke nachádzalo? Kto bol samotný faraón Tutanchamón a v akej dobe vlastne žil?

It is often thought that the story of Tutankhamun ended when the thousands of items discovered by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon were transported to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and put on display. But there is far more to Tutankhamun's story. Tutankhamun and the Tomb that Changed the World (Oxford UP, 2022) explores the 100 years of research on Tutankhamun that has taken place since the tomb's discovery: we learn that several objects in the tomb were made of meteoritic iron that came from outer space; new evidence shows that Tutankhamun may have been a warrior who went into battle; and author Bob Brier takes readers behind the scenes of the recent CAT-scanning of his mummy to reveal secrets of the pharaoh. The book also illustrates the wide-ranging impact the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb had on fields beyond Egyptology. Included is an examination of how the discovery of the tomb influenced Egyptian politics and contributed to the downfall of colonialism in Egypt. Outside Egypt, the modern blockbuster exhibitions that raise great sums of monies for museums around the world all began with Tutankhamun, as did the idea of documenting every object discovered in place, before it was moved. And to a great extent, the modern fascination with ancient Egypt--Egyptomania--was also greatly promoted by the Tutmania that surrounded the discovery of the tomb. Learn more about your ad choices.

On 26 November 1922 Howard Carter gazed into the darkness of a newly-discovered tomb in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Can you see anything? Lord Carnarvon, his companion and sponsor asked him. ‘Yes,' Carter replied, ‘wonderful things.' * This year marks the centenary of perhaps the greatest archaeological discovery in history. At the end of 1922, the world was astonished by the news from Thebes in Egypt. After years of searching, a discovery of the most extraordinary nature was made in the Valley of the Kings. In this episode, the renowned Egyptologist and scholar Toby Wilkinson takes us back to a story that is still as magnetic and magical as ever: the Discovery of Tutankhamun's Tomb. As ever, there is much more about this episode on our website: tttpodcast.com Toby Wilkinson's new book, Tutankhamun's Trumpet: the story of Ancient Egypt in 100 Objects has just been released in hardback by Picador.

In this episode I'm joined by Dr Eleanor Dobson, who researches into the reception of ancient Egypt during the 19th and 20th centuries. We discuss the centenary of Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon's discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, and the stories around the famous 'curses'. We consider what 19th and 20th century Egyptologists were reading, and how they wrote their own stories. We consider how perceptions of the curses developed or changed in the 19th century onwards, and how ancient Egypt and curses are represented in 20th and 21st century films. About my guest: Dr Eleanor Dobson is Associate Professor of Nineteenth-Century Literature at the University of Birmingham. Her first book, Writing the Sphinx: Literature, Culture and Egyptology came out with Edinburgh University Press in 2020, and her second book, Victorian Alchemy: Science, Magic and Ancient Egypt, is out with UCL Press later this yearFor more information on Ellie's work, check out the details below:Check out Ellie's suggestions:The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec (2010 movie)Louisa May Alcott - Lost in a Pyramid, or the Mummy's CurseEpisode Credits:Episode Writer, Editor and Producer: Emma CatanMusic: Burning Steaks (by Stationary Sign) - obtained via EpidemicSoundCheck us out at the following social media pages and websites!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/victorianlegaciespodcastTwitter: @victorianlegac1Instagram: @victorianlegaciespodcastWebsite: https://emmacatan.wordpress.com/victorian-legacies-podcast/Email: victorianlegacies@gmail.com

En esta ocasión nuestro director Alberto Hernández se auto invita para hablar del mítico faraón Tutankamón, alguien que reinó siendo muy jóven y que también tuvo una muerte prematura. Su figura está rodeada de leyendas y esta noche conoceremos algunos datos casi olvidados y también haremos un repaso por lo sucedido cuando Howard Carter y Lord Carnarvon penetraron en la cámara mortuoria en 1922, desde ese momento se habló de la maldición del faraón. En el inicio escucharemos los resultados de la encuestra de Milarca, ¿Creen nuestros oyentes en la reencarnación?. A continuación Alberto y Alex El Kowalsky abren el kiosko de HDN para hablar sobre las noticias más llamativas de la semana : Una extraña foto obtenida en Irlanda, La pelea de dos hermanos por una montaña mágica en Catalunya y el espionaje de grandes compañías a través del micrófono de nuestros teléfonos móviles. En la parte final Valeria Surcis en "El Punto Giallo" nos habla de El Círculo de Canter, una técnica de perfilación criminal muy utilizada y de gran importancia.

Jamie and Matt have honor of speaking with Lord Carnarvon from Highclere Castle to get the insights into the botanicals and oats used in the baskets to create Highclere Castle Gin. Adam Von Gootkin and Lord Carnarvon have been able to craft a unique award winning gin. We find out how this partnership began and get some hints as to what is next.  Something amazing is the chance to connect with the innovative crowd sharing project where you can buy into the next steps Highclere Castle Gin takes. The actual Downtown Abbey is ready to star in yet another installment of the Downtown Abbey series with another  movie.  https://highclerecastlegin.com/https://linktr.ee/ManCaveHappyHourwww.ManCaveHappyHour.comJamie Flanagan @DJJamieDetroitMatt Fox @fox_beazlefoxMerchwww.WearingFunny.com
