Ancient Historical Fiction with Dr. Colleen Darnell
Podcast: The History of Egypt PodcastPublished On: Fri Sep 26 2025
Description: My guest today is Dr. Colleen Darnell, who will speak to us about New Kingdom literature (featuring rulers like Ramesses, Thutmose III, Seqenenra, and more). It’s a fun discussion, ranging from the calamitous death of Seqenenra Tao, to the triumphs of Thutmose III and Ramesses II, to the divine glamour of chariots, and how pharaohs became literary "heroes."
