  • Resumen

  • From recent research we know that the great boy king Tutankhamun was a result of incest.


    How did it effect him? And was incest in Ancient Egypt mostly for symbolic reasons of retaining power, or did it go further than that?


    Joining Kate today is the wonderful Sarah Parcak, archaeologist and Egyptologist, to help us find out more. Importantly, they also touch on why the Ancient Egyptians found lettuce sexy.


    This episode was edited by Tom Delargy and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.
