102: An Egyptian Odyssey (Amunhotep's Embassy to Mycenae)

A Passage to Greece. It's time to set sail! We journey far from Egypt to visit lands only whispered about until now. We are visiting Greece and the lands of Mycenae, who in 1370 BCE were beginning to make their mark on the international scene. Website: www.egyptianhistorypodcast.com.
