Greetings Dominic,
I was excited to listen to your presentation around Tiye. Long have I been fascinated with her! I carved out the time to listen today and lo and behold was that my shimmering systrum at the onset?!!?
Looking forward to Part II and in the meantime, clearly, I also need to go back to Episoden 120 … and 107….
Shimmering Systrum blessings,
Tahya

The usual link to the audio file “Stream Online and Download Directly (Save As mp3)” is missing from this episode.
Hi Martin, those links will no longer be appearing on the website moving forward. This is a response to situations where people have taken the mp3s and used them without my consent in ways that I would not have agreed with, had they asked. If you only listen to the show by downloading mp3s from the website, please email me at egyptpodcast@gmail.com. Alternatively, many podcasting apps (e.g. Google, Apple, Spotify, Lyceum, Castbox etc) allow you to download the file to your phone for temporary use.
Hope this helps,
