Hello Seekers!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday break!
So, I feel into a pretty deep archeological internet hole the other day around 2 am and this is what I came up with:
Today's episode of Occulture Shock goes deep into one of the strangest gaps in ancient Egyptian history: the disappearance of the Benben stone.
This artifact was once the most sacred physical object in ancient Egypt
And then it vanishes. Just POOF! There one minute, gone the next.
In this episode, we break down what the Benben likely was, how it Egyptian construction and design for thousands of years, and why its influence shows up everywhere in Egyptian architecture.
Then we follow my weirdo 2 am theory as to where it is...because, why not?
I hope you enjoy (it's an extra long one today) & as always, thanks for getting weird with us!
