EPISODE 16 | In Part 2 of our very first guest interview, we conclude our discussion on human sacrifice in ancient Egypt with UCLA's own Dr. Rose Campbell. We talk more with her about her research on human sacrifice, how she is helping to advance the study of cancer in antiquity, and why the practice of human sacrifice in ancient Egypt did not last. Stay tuned for Part 2 of a fantastic conversation!
