What If You Lived in Ancient Egypt? - Guests: Dr. Salima Ikram and Dr. Bob Brier

Have you ever wondered what it might be like to have lived like a Pharaoh? Walked like an Egyptian? Reached the top of the Pyramid? Ancient Egypt continues to be one of the most enduring mysteries for our modern world, a source of never ending fascination. But as much as we know about pyramids and mummy's, we know very little about what life might have been like thousands of years ago on the shores of the Nile. Join Peter and Richard as they are taken on a journey through time with two of the top Egyptologists in the world. Dr. Salima Ikram is a distinguished professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo, and Dr. Bob Brier has been to Egypt over a 100 times and is a lifelong scholar, author and enthusiast of all things Egypt.
