Ancient Egypt is far harder to reconstruct than most people imagine. Egyptologist Dr. Campbell Price joins us to explore how archaeologists and the Egypt Exploration Society pieced together Egypt’s past through 50 key discoveries. We look at the history of archaeological exploration in Egypt, how early excavations were shaped by biblical expectations and colonial agendas, and how those discoveries continue to influence what we think we know about Ancient Egypt today.
👉 Dr. Price helps us explore:
– What is the Egypt Exploration Society
– How religious and colonial concerns shaped early archaeology
– How did they settle on 50 discoveries?
– What is next for the Egypt Exploration Society?
