About this episode

This episode discusses the construction and decoration of Egyptian temples and monuments, highlighting their evolution over time.

This week’s boring reading is all about the construction of various Egyptian temples and how their construction changed based on available space and the surroundings, and how decoration got a lot busier up till the times of the Romans. Maybe fascinating for some people but it’s as dry as the Sahara, so you’ll be sleeping very soon. Find Manual of Egyptian Archaeology and Guide to the Study of Antiquities in Egypt – G.
