More Than Mummies: Rethinking Ancient Egypt with Dr Federico Zangani

“Homerton research for curious minds”. HOMCast is the podcast that dissects, discusses, and demystifies the most exciting and cutting- edge research coming out of the University of Cambridge’s newest, largest, and most diverse College. Each episode a ‘Homerton curious mind’ will be questioning some of Homerton College’s greatest thinkers on their research - spanning ancient history, literature, science, medicine, the universe and beyond! With the goal of making complex ideas accessible, entertaining, and genuinely thought-provoking, HOMCast blends the rigor of academic insight with lively discussions that invite curiosity, spark conversation, and open the doors of research to everyone. In this first episode of HOMCast, former Homerton student, and all-round ‘Curious Mind’, Jesi Akinsuyi, is joined by Egyptologist and ancient historian Dr Federico Zangani, to find out why Ancient Egypt was so much more than mummies and pyramids. Join Jesi and Dr. Zangani as they bust some ‘myths’ about Egyptology and what it means to be an archaeologist.
