Show Notes
A Woman King. Around 1776 BCE, the 12th Dynasty was dwindled away. Before it vanished, it produced one last remarkable figure. Neferu-Sobek (or Sobek-Neferu) was Egypt's first recorded female king.
Additionally, we explore the Tale of the Man and his Ba, also known as The Man Who Was Tired of Life.
