An episode from 2/26/21: In this last episode on Egyptian mythology, I read from Herodotus's account of Egyptian embalming and mummification practices, followed by a summing up of the Egyptian myth episodes.
\nThe translation of Herodotus used is the Landmark Herodotus; the essays I read from can be found in The Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, and the entries on "Mythological Texts" and "Mythology"; the grumpy Egypt-hater's remarks can be found in the introduction to his volume in the Mythology of All Races.
\nOther episodes on Egyptian mythology \u2060are here\u2060.
