Season 1 Episode 6: The Old Kingdom’s Peak
When Sneferu ascended to the throne of Egypt, he had something to prove. He was born no royal, living his early life as a minor nomarch, and only lucked into the position by marrying the daughter of a pharaoh with no heir. In a quest to prove his status as a god-king, Sneferu commanded the most impressive building project yet made with human hands. Join us this week as Sneferu and his fourth dynasty successors build Egypt's most iconic landmarks. If you'd like to learn more about Egypt's fourth dynasty, or support the show, click here
